[edit] Spencer's Island, Nova Scotia

Can you cite references for all the new stuff? Some of it (such as your addition of Lord Spencer and naming the Amazon the first large ship to be built) I'm not 100% certain on. I'm from Parrsboro, Nova Scotia and I have family down shore, including several shipbuilders and Captains (I think I might even be a descendant of Spicer!). I'll have to crack open my history books on the area as well...unfortunately though, I don't have any here in Ontario... Andrew647 19:04, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I should read your references...my bad Andrew647 19:06, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

--Halifax Explosion : There is an annual meetup of survivors, and I was lucky enough to attend that this year. There were less than 20 survivors remaining. As you can imagine, this year will be the 90th anniversary of the Explosion, so that means the youngest survivor is 90 years old, and the oldest being 103. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.186.211 (talk) 14:49, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edward Low

Hi Letterofmarque. I saw you had edited the Edward Low article quite a bit. I've just greatly expanded the article, and another pair of eyes to take a look at it would be greatly appreicated. Given your name, you may also like to consider joining the Piracy WikiProject! Happy editing, Neil ム 09:56, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Nova Scotia

Hi! I notice you have made some recent changes to Nova Scotia related articles, and I am inviting you to join Wikiproject Nova Scotia, a collaboration of editors who are interested in improving the quality of Nova Scotia related articles. I know this is the second invitation from Wikiprojects you have received, but the worst that can happen is you say no! If you are interested, just add your name to the list!

[edit] An Act to Protect Heritage Lighthouses

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of An Act to Protect Heritage Lighthouses, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Bill S-220 An Act to Protect Heritage Lighthouses. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 01:01, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mary Celeste

I only just noticed your comment on my talk page, and its undated.

The problem with this story is that there is whole industry writing books and now making documentaries about the Mary Celeste, along with manufacturing stories. Even in the days of Charles Fay, who wrote one of the best books, he spends several pages debunking this.

I'm sure there was a cat or two on board, however there are no reports about any after, and any comments about them from the owners and Briggs family in the US are pure speculation because they were not around when it was found drifting. With respect to Mr Raddall its quite immaterial to the story, unless you think the cat did it :) --Gibnews (talk) 00:45, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
