Thanks. I was close
By the way, it's Apalachicola
My HS played a football game against them one year. Loooong road trip.
I saw a documentary on this subject years ago. Apparently ice was only obtainable from time to time when an ice ship arrived and everyone knew the ice ship schedule. John served ice in the drinks of his dinner guests one night and no-one believed him when he said that he had made the ice, however, everyone else was out of ice and knew that the ice ship had not delivered ice. (also...the French ambassador was one of the dinner guests.)
