The advantages of electronic publication: sheer verbosity, all kinds of photographs. An open ended project.
Trouble is, I also have to make a living! "Lunenburg Architecture" is my on-line hobby. It is at http://rodneymackay.com/ Lunenburg/Architecture/architecture1.html

Have not had the time to spell check or look at spacing. I am an amateur seeking to learn more about this subject, so corrections of fact are in order and would be appreciated.

While Lunenburg was invaded in 1812
Stern of the "Providence."
Cannon Port on the "Providence."

Crowds at dockside...
Here is the replica of the "Providence"
The Sloop "Providence"

This traditionally rigged replica of John Paul Jones' first command is 110 feet in length and carries 12 small cannons. She was responsible for the destruction or capture of 40 British vessels during the American Revolutionary War

Ruth paid greater attention to the landlubbers

Also in port were the "Virginia" and a replica of an American Revolutionary War naval ship. More about this anon. Didn't get any decent shots of the latter vessel yesterday. Will eventually post regular pages treating the evolution of the schooner into today's craft.

The "Sherman Zwicker" is back in Lunenburg

The Smith Rhulanmd Yard is still in business

This craft could be mistaken for the "Bluenose" except for the lack of topsail masts and a main boom in her sail rig. She had no usual need for sails except to hold position on the fishing banks or as auxiliary power when her 320 horsepower engines were out of action.
"The Sherman Zwicker," also 1942

The Year 1942, The fishing vessel "bernadine"

The "Lois and Isabel II" sailed out of Grand Harbour on similar missions to the Victoria weir on the south coast of the island. I never "sailed" on her but did play cabin boy to the "Lois and Isabel 1" in the days when she fished off Castalia. She was named for my mother, Lois Guptill (Mackay) and her sister Isabel Guptill (Bosein). This craft is entered here for comparison with a very similar offshore vessel of exactly the same age.
