Here's one of me and ladymarcovan from a few days ago. We went out to Jekyll Island to eat at the place where our daughter works. [ATTACH]...
Pretty good impression. You just need some crocodile teeth in your hatband. [IMG]
Looks like it could indeed be an SMS coin, but I'm not savvy enough with moderns to be able to confirm that. Welcome, BTW.
I do wear a 3X (or even a 4X), as it happens. But that's got more to do with the enormous gut than the heart.
This is USS Cyrene in the photo below, but it was a Type C1-A ship like the Cape Constantine. So this is what the ship in question would have...
So I guess it's been confirmed that this particular Orla was definitely a man, then?
Love it when these things evolve. I've gotten all caught up in this now. Y'all might remember the last time I had one of these kind of quests.
Good work, y'all. These mysteries seem to solve up nicer when several minds are at the task.
I wondered if "Orla" could also be a man's name. That would be an interesting twist. But the only person with that name I've heard of before is...
No doubt. Rabbit holes like this are tremendously fun to burrow down into. Who will be the first to find a photo of Orla N. Beebe? Or the SS...
Wow! But this sort of changes the picture of Orla as a civilian passenger, maybe? This would have put her in the thick of it. So we're back to...

Note that below Orla N. Beebe's name, it says, On board Cap[...] Constantine and then goes on with the names. Now that I've squinted long...
It appears to be "SS Cape Constantine" to me. There was also a Liberty ship called SS Cape Constance.
Sure? Why is that surprising? She was a passenger. It was an ocean liner. This was before airlines became the predominant form of long...
I'd say you're doing pretty well so far. You found Orla N. Beebe! And the ship. Very neat. Fantastic historical item! Alas, trying to...
Were I to venture a guess, I'd say the King James Bible (or an even earlier translation of scripture into English) might've had something to do...
That is a smashing Tribute Penny, and I'll wager it cost a pretty penny, too. I'd be proud to own that one.
Exactly.
