I come from a long line of #SeaCaptains. My great grandfather was Captain Grant & this is one of the American #ClipperShips he sailed, the Saint David. It was built in 1877 in Bath, Maine & carried cargoes of lumber & coal in the Pacific trade.

Once when he was sailing from Australia with a load of coal there was a storm which almost drove the ship into the rocks, story below.

@HeatherRojo I have not - didn’t know it was a thing until now, thank you! Coincidentally (or maybe not ) I’ll happen to be visiting Massachusetts this fall. Wow. Who knows where this will lead - exciting. … Did you know some of the Wyman’s were #SeaCaptains too? Thanks again. ☺️
