Hi Jim, Thanks for letting everyone know about this. As you might know, I serve on the Board of Trustees of the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston, and I was the co-curator of the New Age of Sail exhibit at the Museum last year, one of the high points of which was inducting George Cuthbertson and Bruce Kirby into the Canadian Sailing Hall of Fame. Your attached piece by Mr. Granatstein is quite accurate. The Marine Museum is facing extinction if the Federal Government doesn't change its mind and hangs on to this historic piece of waterfront property, or if they don't work more closely with the City of Kingston to help them acquire the land. Otherwise it will be sold to private developers who will evict the Museum to build more condos. The Museum does not have enough money to finance a relocation, even if a suitable location was available.
Yes, please write your MPs, especially the Conservative ones. This is very serious stuff. The Museum holds the entire C&C Collection of drawings, as well as drawings from German and Milne, and many other prominent Canadian Naval Architects and shipbuilders.
