There's a lot to be said Betty for those blizzards... can't get outdoors so one has to do something to pass the time inside! You asked about the Coast Guard in Canada - I don't know anything about that but those fishermen had their own rescue system in place.. Laborador Retrievers! My great uncle, who sailed and fished the Grand Banks in the 20s in a schooner out of Gloucester came home with a dog once.. ."found him swimming" was all he said about him.. but they were trained to go after anyone who fell or was washed overboard and they weren't supposed to return to the boat without the person! faye ---- Betty <[email protected]> wrote: > > Can anyone provide the history of the "Coast Guard" in Canada? > > > > Researchers should remember how many people were either conceived, or born, > during great blizzards !
