Many thanks Geraldine:- For many Down Homers who live in other provinces as I do, Amos H. Stevens was the name of a well-known member of the Stevens family. The Launching of the Amos H. Stevens in picturesque Lunenburg will be a memorable event -- if all goes well, I hope to be there. There will be more information from Ralph Getson, head of the Fisheries Museum and if not received -- ask!!! [My reason for being there is family research -- an excellent place!] Apologies -- Museum phone number not given Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Brampton, ON -- formerly Liverpool, NS ------------- June 16,2005 Hi Geraldine: Ralph Getson from the Fisheries Museum has been in touch asking that I help to contact people to let them know about the Launching of the Amos H. Stevens. Would you please pass on the following information to all the family and their families as well. Ralph is hoping that there will be a good family turnout! He has given the following Tentative Schedule for Saturday July 23rd. 10:00 a.m. The Amos H. Stevens will be hauled from the Boat Shop to the Slipway using 2 teams of oxen. She will be on display throughout the day. 1:00 to 4:00 The Boat Shop will be turned into a Tancook Room . Martha Farrar will be bringing many photos etc about Tancook and they are encouraging people to get together, visit and reminisce There will be entertainment around the Museum area throughout the afternoon. The actual splash time for the boat is 8:30 p.m. but festivities will begin before that with speeches, christening and so on. As of yet there is no set time for the commencement but I imagine sometime around 7:00 . More details will be available in the paper or by calling the Museum.
