  4. No problems....saw it on YouTube.
    Ray - do you happen to know the names of any other ships your Dad sailed on. Also, the names of the ships Billy sailed on. Our Gegs would have known .......
    And how about Granddad, Martha's husband, he went away to sea also and have no idea what ships he sailed on either.
    This is another part of our history that we should keep alive...........we have a hug family, and thanks to this blog, we are all communicating, which we would never have been able to do. Thanks Kate for initiating all this.
