Stranded


The postcard dates to 1908, and portrays a boat that had gone aground in Pigeon Bay near Leamington, Ontario. As far as I've been able to find, it's not listed as a wreck so presumably the unidentified boat was freed. 
One thing I'm quite sure of, no one will be looking at "wish you were here" postcards of the Ever Given in a hundred years.

    Sounds like there was trouble brewing on that postcard.

    This is the second postcard to Miss Annie Griffin in Eagle, Ont. See also one posted at http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.com/2021/03/postcard-from-ignace-mar-19-09.html

    Miss Griffin appears to have been the focal point of.... what, exactly?

    I bought a number of boat postcards from an antiques vendor without looking at the back. There are more between Annie and Ruby. Now I'm intrigued. I might need to ride down to Eagle On. and ask around...
