My dad ...from PEI used to refer to work boots as "Cape Breton Boxing Gloves" LOL

He was born in 1904 so remembered a lot of history. Even spent one summer as a crew member on a sail powered ship. An interesting man to talk to.

it is Cape Breton Island as no such thing as cape bretenns.

 

Yeah, but my fingers are bigger than the keys on this little tablet and I get tired going back and end editing every other keystroke.  No touch typing on this thing!

Louisberg fortress ship models
Posted by Don Stauffer on Monday, August 14, 2017 3:47 PM

Visited fortress Louisberg in cape bretenns yesterday.  In one building they said there was an art gallery and ship models.  First model I saw was junk, no sheer, no tumblehome a ssimple rigging.  Disappointed. But in  next room was a nice galley and a great French 74, about 5 feet long with very accurate rigging .  definitely worth visiting maybe pictures she I get home.
