Fort Scammel was the main defense of Portland Harbor during the Civil War




I was watching an eagle circling the bay until it dropped down 
and caught a fish and flew over to this nest and fed the 
screaming little ones. You can just see the nest on the piling.

TITANIC CEMETERY HALIFAX

years back- all the passengers boarded Titanic which then sailed 
off into an ice berg in 1912 







The only infant body recovered. People visit 
and leave stuffed animals.
