    Did you know Ronald Hambly Martin?

    I have a obituary for Ron Martin. Died Feb. 22, 2011. Says he was a long time member of the Hamilton Beach Rescue and worked at Robertson-Irwin. I didn't want to put this on the Rescue part of this site because it wasn't directly related to a rescue. I would like to know who this man was and...

    A timely find

    Well today they are digging up relics at the North end of the Beach but on May 17, 1877 George Lottridge was doing the same on the South end of the Beach. Behind Fitch's Hotel he made a find with what appears to be more valuable articles than today. My friend, Scott Forsythe of Winnipeg, sent...

    Head of the Lake

    There was quite an explannation before about the "Head of the Lake". It was felt that there was no place that was actually known by that name. For 3 days now I have been reading War Losses 1812-1814. Other than going blind I have learned much. One thing of interest is that out of literally...

    In search of the outlet

    I have put together the work I personally did on the old forts and posted them to my website. It amounts to the reasonable conclusion of two forts. On that same site is my beginning attempts to pinpoint the old outlet. I have someone working on it with resources I don't have access to and...

    John R wreck

    I asked this on various Ship Lists and Wreck sites but no one could help me. I research old ships from the Great Lakes. One that stumps me is a wreck my Father always talked about. When he was a child living on Crescent Beach he would row out to the wreck of the John R, as he called it. It...

    OK Where was the King's Head

    I had questioned the map of the King's Head. Since that I called the Museum on another matter. Was able to speak directly to a gentleman on another matter. I brought up the Inn issue and was informed it is wrong and that a new was is underway. So sorry for questioning it. I should have made...

    Steel Beach or Stolen Beach?

    It's day three and I haven't seen a comment on the series in the Spec. It's possible I'm the only one ticked?? Today I was treated to 8 inches of print on a sweaty nurse on rollerblades who drives an '86 Acadian with 82,000 clicks. HELLO!!!! And I'm not going an farther than that!

    Martin's Pleasure Gardens

    OK I know there was a wharf for this place on the Bay. It was near Dynes wharf. I've seen an article on a tragic boating accident there. This was a hotel. Does anyone have information on it. I'm trying to find out if John Martin was the owner. I've heard of applications for licenses in the...

    Joseph Brant Museum

    I'm getting on in years so sometimes I don't see what I think I see BUT I was in the Museum a couple of years ago. In the room, off the hall, where the King's Head Inn sign is they have a map below it. I'm sure they marked the King's Head where the old fort was. I went and got the girl to...
