I think I finally got an ID on my Grandfathers Boat. Ever heard
of
a
Waymouth?. An older fishing charter Captain down the Lake from
me
ID'd
it. Dont know if it's positive, but he swears that's what it
is.
Gonna do a google on it, and see if I get a hit.


Can't say I have.
Is it spelled Waymouth or Weymouth? S.
The Brits have a bad habit of misspelling many words.

Eisboch
I happen to know that you also have a Weymouth in MA. (we have
one
here in NS of course).
A future professional hockey player named Bobby Sheehan, who was
in
my grade 12 class when he played his junior hockey here, came from
there.

As a matter of fact, I believe our village got it's name from the
Loyalists who left Mass in the mid 1700s when the ungrateful
rabble
was acting up..

My gawd. You sure do know your geography.
And when it came time to fight for what's right, the pansies ran
north.
What's the matter...?
You still sore from your navy days when someone sabotaged you by
putting sand in your Vasoline?
You sure have some oblique "penpals." Is SepticTank FloridaJim
referring
to U.S. males who headed north during the war against Vietnam so they
wouldn't have to bomb or shoot women, children and villages in order
to
protect Topeka, Kansas, from an invasion by the Viet Cong?

I think he's buried way back further in the past......to the United
Empire Loyalists who remained loyal to the King.
Most gave up all they had to re-settle up here. My maternal
grandmothers' family came up from New York after the revolution.
We probably have a legtimate claim to a tiny piece of Harlem....

Ahh. Perhaps you can outline for us how Canada and Canadians have
suffered
the last 100 years or so by maintaining ties to England.

At one time the preferred trading status with the Commonwealth including
Great Britain meant a lot.
At this point... the questionable spending to maintain the Governor
General
in Ottawa and the provincial Lt. Governors expenses as the Queens
representatives might bother a few citizens.




Yeah, but the Queen comes to visit... :)

That's the Queen Mum to you.

Yup...the Queen Mum was always popular here...a proper Scottish lady.
As you know she died back in 2002 (hard to believe 7 years already) at the
ripe old age of 101.
When she was young, Queen Elizabeth herself was quite fetching.but I never
cared much for that husband of hers...Philip.
Interest in the Royals ebbed a bit but sprung up with a visit by Prince
Charles and Princess Diana in the early '80s

I never could understand some peoples obsession with royals,
especially by Americans. The Canadians have an excuse, the Queen is
even on their dough. But then I am rather unimpressed with celebrities
in general. I would never dream of asking a movie actor for an
autograph. I figure they are entitled to a life when not working.
