Time Capsules plus The Marco Polo

Time Capsules plus The Marco Polo

Fun with time capsules plus one of the shipping wonders of the world - the Marco Polo

Show notes

This week, Kate muses about time capsules in general and including one found in Haliburton County in 1931 - it had been left in a stone wall on September 4, 1985. Plus, Paul has the story of the rise and fall of the Canadian sailing clipper the Marco Polo. She was launched at Saint John, New Brunswick in 1851, was phenomenally fast - setting voyage records, was known as the fastest ship in the world at the time, and was described as one of the shipping wonders of the world.
