An artist’s rendering of the HMS Discovery and the HMS Chatham somewhere in Puget Sound. An anchor was lost during the famous exploration of the Pacific Northwest and a group of history hunters believe they have located the artifact on the west side of Whidbey Island. -- Steve Mayo, Bellingham Maritime Museum, watercolor
Pretty cool. My Great granddad was a mariner in around there but only around 100 years ago.

If they find a blue thermos, that’s mine.
Interesting, but I don’t really see what’s so special about this anchor?
intersting. nice post, this
We lived on Whidbey Island many years ago when my husband was attached to a naval air squadron at the naval air station. We loved the area and still have many fond memories. It was beautiful out there!
