         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons

Friday, July 26, 2013: 

Mark and Paula visited a British encampment, from the late 1700's and early 1800's.

This gathering was going on in conjunction with the Tall Ships event in Duluth, Minnesota.

Re-enactors portrayed those who crossed the Atlantic via the HM Schooner Nancy. 

Yes, visitors learned how it was back then.

Very interesting and informative.

The cook was busy putting together a meal fit for a king.

Many courses....it looked and smelled wonderful.

Good cooks are highly valued for their skill.

The water boys were walking around to help anyone who was thirsty.

At least that is how they did it way back when.

There were some blacksmiths too.

Hot stuff!
Look at that....a huge pan of onions cooking over a camp fire.  There was coffee and stew as well.
 

Yes, they ate well back then. 

There was flute music too. 

Hauntingly beautiful.

Paula was anxious to show off her new "Port of Duluth" shirt. 

But first, she had to grab an ice cream cone.

First things first, Paula.

Quote of the day:  A fascinating look at history.  I learned a lot.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
