    Given the circumstances, it's amazing how jolly everyone looks in the photo.

    John Schrank said that the assassinated William McKinley appeared to him in his dream, sitting up in his coffin, and pointed to Theodore Roosevelt as the man who had murdered him, and directed Schrank to avenge his death.

    Looks like the cops here weren't exactly cross with Schrank the Crank.

    The USS Sylph was the third Presidential Yacht. Purchased during the war with Spain for $50,000, the 123 foot vessel was commissioned at the Norfolk Navy Yard in August, 1898. McKinley was the first President to use the Sylph. President Roosevelt made frequent cruises on her to his summer place at Oyster Bay, New York, and President Taft used this vessel off the New England coast during the summers of his administration.

    She be yaw.
  • Wystan said:
    @lifeasdaddy: is that the Aussie word? In the movie, "High Society," Bing Crosby and Grace Kelley used the term "yar."
  • BobMeade said:
    Wystan, you have caused me to check. Now I think that my memory failed me and I should have written "yar". Yaw has no special or unusual meaning hereabouts. I'm fond of the movie High Society and have seen it more than 10 times. "yar" in a maritime context also appears in dialogue from The Philadelphia Story. Thanks!
  • Wystan said:
    Yes, "High Society" is a wonderful movie. In August, 1956, when I was 13, I sailed to Europe with my parents and little sister on a Dutch ship, the RMS Maasdam. The crossing took nine days. There wasn't much for a kid to do: no TV, but the ship did have a couple of new movies that they showed over and over -- "High Society," and Alec Guinness in "The Ladykillers." By voyage's end, I had memorized them both, and probably another that I don't remember now. Grace Kelley and I were in love, but she didn't know it. I don't recall that the Maasdam was particularly yar . . . .
