...---... DAY (http://440.com/twtd/dxlnkgo1.html) The international distress call, SOS, which replaced _CQD_ (http://440.com/twtd/dxlnkgo2.html) (All stations -- distress!), was first used by an American ship on this day in 1909. The ocean liner Arapahoe found itself in trouble off Cape Hatteras, NC. The ship’ s wireless operator, T. D. Haubner, radioed for help when his ship lost its screw propeller near the ‘Graveyard of the Atlantic’, Diamond Shoals. The call was heard by the United Wireless station at Hatteras. Contrary to popular opinion, _SOS_ (http://440.com/twtd/dxlnkgo1.html) (which has no stops between the letters, the signal being a continuous signal of three dots, three dashes and three dots) is not an acronym for any series of words such as Save Our Ship or Save Our Souls. The original call for distress began with the British CQ, meaning “All Stations”, used by telegraph and cable operators worldwide. The D for ’distress’ was added to CQ by the Marconi company in 1904. In 1906, at the Berlin Radiotelegraphic Conference, the German’s general inquiry call, SOE, was suggested as an international distress signal. Changing the E to S gave the signal its unmistakeable character, and SOS was officially ratified as the international distress signal in 1908, although it was not officially adopted by the USA until 1912 (prompted by the Titanic tragedy). It is interesting to note that the Titanic’s radio operator sent Marconi’s CQD code several times before using the four-year-old international SOS signal some twenty minutes later ... as Marconi waited in NY to make the return trip to England on the ill-fated ship. _Globe Wireless_ (http://440.com/twtd/dxlnkgo2.html) , a Louisiana company, began operation that same year, as rules and regulations following the sinking of the Titanic included the requirement that all ships carry equipment capable of sending and receiving Morse code messages. On July 12, 1999, Globe Wireless broadcast its last Morse code message to ships, five months after Morse code was no longer an internationally acceptable form of communication for ships at sea. Globe’s was the last service of its kind in North America. Morse code and its SOS signal began its demise in the 1960s as faster more efficient forms of transmission became available. Today, most ships use mobile phones, fax machines, and e-mail to communicate. The Global Maritime Distress and Safety system, which uses the satellite-based Global Positioning System, is now the internationally accepted manner in which to transmit a ship’s exact location and problem ... instantly. In comparison, SOS and other Morse code transmissions which were the high tech methods of 1909, were “very slow, unreliable ... if you’re lucky, you can send 25 words a minute”, stated Globe Wireless Manager Karl Halvorsen. His and other similar companies around the world now provide the instant message services to ships that are used on land. SOS ...---... Morse code is sinking.

Thanks everyone. Can someone clarify the "rehabilitation marriage" of 1655? Some articles or family history pages suggest it was because she was 11 and a half years old and they need to be 12 to be married. I always understood it like the difference of filing court papers for a marriage versus a church wedding, at least in the modern sense. I understand in some cases where the local official conducing the ceremony could be of a different religion or in some cases like the Acadians, in exile, you have the rehabilitation marriage. In those cases, both are valid. I suppose what I am really asking is was the first marriage was valid or not? I'm also curious about the alleged 1643 marriage promise or whatever they might call it. It must be some form of arranged marriage. I am interested because it was planned about 12 years in advance.

Thank you Bill, Jeanne & Doreen for opening up the door to this fascinating history. I found this on Wikipedia. It is a long read but worth every minute. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?hl=en-CA&as_q&as_epq=shipwreck+La+Belle&as_oq&as_eq&as_nlo&as_nhi&lr&cr&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch&as_occt&safe=images&as_filetype&as_rights&&ct=clnk&q=cache:l_XuguKDlZoJ:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Belle_(ship)%2B%22shipwreck+La+Belle%22 Can you just imagine this as a marvellous movie? It could even be made into a mini series for TV --- except that doesn't seem to be done anymore. This true story covers from 1681 to current time.. It includes the King of France & the King of Spain, pirates, hostile Indians, storms at sea,ship wrecks, sailors having to drink wine when fresh water ran out & some dying from the dehydration, the sinking of Sauer De La Salle's ships including the famous La Belle, right up to its recovery and restoration which is taking place today. Who says history is boring huh? I was never taught about history this way.

Just offering, if anyone would like to be added to my Cemetery Photo list. What you get is mostly my photos related to the Cemetery Reports. Just think, you can get to see the graves I fall into. See the deer I play with. Some bent canes. I also do artistic type photography in cemeteries that you'll get to see. Headstone photos. Humour. And, occasionally a strange bird in my backyard. You'll see, New York State, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Ontario, Quebec and Pennsylvania. Doesn't this sound like a commercial?????????????????????????????? That's right, you get it all, so act now. Or, if you call now, we will double the amount of photos you receive in one day. Just send me a e-mail and put "photos" in the subject line and you'll receive the photos as I send them out. Best Bill :)

Gravestones at Pleasant View Ridge Cemetery were damaged by vandals, who painted obscene phrases on headstones dating as far back as the 19th century. CHINA — At least a half dozen gravestones were vandalized at a cemetery on Pleasant View Ridge Road recently with sometimes obscene graffiti spray-painted on the backs of several headstones, some of which have been in place for more than a century. It’s not known when the vandalism occurred or who may be responsible. Roughly eight gravestones had profanities or other sayings spray-painted on them, including one that read “No Heaven” and another that read “Lucifer is watching.” Grafitti defaces several gravestones Wednesday in Pleasant View Ridge Cemetery in China. Staff photo by Jesse Scardina “Lucifer is watching,” proclaims a message spray-painted on a gravestone in Pleasant View Ridge Cemetery in China on Wednesday. Staff photo by Jesse Scardina Harold Charles, a China resident and member of the cemetery committee, had not been notified of the vandalism before Wednesday evening. Calls to other members of the cemetery committee, including Town Manager Daniel L’ Heureux, were not returned. Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office Sheriff Randall Liberty said that as of Wednesday evening, the town had not notified the sheriff’s office about the vandalism. Charles, who has been on the cemetery committee for about eight years, said vandalism at China cemeteries is relatively rare. “It doesn’t happen that often,” Charles said. “Occasionally we get some damage from trees.” Charles said the cemetery committee usually has some reserve money in the committee’s budget to have graffiti removed. Pleasant View Ridge Cemetery is a small burial ground on Pleasant View Ridge Road, about a quarter-mile past Bog Brook Road. It contains three to four dozen graves, most of which are from the 19th and 20th centuries. Charles said there are a handful of small cemeteries on Pleasant View Ridge Road, but the one that had been vandalized is the only one near the road. The rest are farther back in the woods, he said. One visitor to the cemetery who spotted the vandalism said simply that it was “a disgrace.”

Well, it didn't work again, I'll get to Tupper Lake yet. Maybe next week? But tomorrow, as I'm here, I'll head back to East Rochester, and finish off some more cemeteries there. B est < I had a hiccup.............. Bill

U.S. General George Washington wanted to honor several courageous soldiers of the revolutionary war with a Badge of Military Merit. So, on this day in 1782, he ordered the creation of a purple, cloth heart with a silver, braided edge. The Badge of Military Merit was only awarded to three Revolutionary War soldiers. On the bicentennial of the first U.S. President’s birthday, February 22, 1932, the badge was reinstated. This time it was called the Order of the Purple Heart, a purple-enameled, gold-bordered heart with a profile of Washington in the center. The Purple Heart decorates those members of the United States armed forces who have been wounded in battle (if they die, it is awarded to their next of kin).
