Side Note: Everett, WA. and my home in Superior, WI are forgotten sister cities. The Alexander McDougall ship building company started here and made the innovative "whaleback" design of ship. Alex then built a ship building company in Everett to make the same style ship there. Only one was made - "The City of Everett." Some folks called these boats "Pigboats" And there ends my unsolicited history lesson for the day. Just wish it was closer so I could attend the sale. Drat!

This is a poor photo of an original painting by artist Charles Moorhouse of the S.S. Meteor on Lake Superior.

Thanks for the history lesson! The rock sale was pretty good but I held back from going all out and buying too much. I had my eye on a nice piece of jade and some malachite but ended up just buying a chunk of tigers eye.

I knew Submarines were called "Pig boats" but had no idea that term applied to surface ships

It's time to remove the warning labels from things and let stupidity work itself out of the gene pool!
