I hope that helps a little.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-22083972052029385412011-06-15T08:11:17.019-08:002011-06-15T08:11:17.019-08:00Can I ask where the source is for the William Wood...Can I ask where the source is for the William Wood quote?<br /><br />I'm in contact with a genealogical researcher in the Wood family.

I still think it takes a certain mindset (and at least a little bit of courage) to go to sea in a wooden ship, but maybe that's just because I'm such a lubber.<br /><br />Nice pictures, too!Timmy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09902641426229272672noreply@blogger.com
