While at the
Bedford Hills
Diner
with some
friends
late one night
, we discovered that we could learn a little bit of
history
just by drinking
coffee
. While adding the
sugar
to our coffee, I noticed that the back of the
Domino
sugar
packet
had information regarding
historical
ships. Here's an
example
:
The Great Republic
Designed
and built by
Donald Mackay
and launched in
1853
. The largest of all 4 masted
clipper ships
and the largest
wooden ship
ever built, she was 325 feet long and
boasted
a
beam
53 feet wide.
Burned
to the
water line
in a
tragic fire
before her
maiden voyage
, old
sailors
still
speculate
on how
fast
she would have been.
Now, the question arises:
Why
are there these little
factoid
s on sugar packets in a diner in a little town in
NY
State, where people
hang out
because there's
nothing
else to do at
3 in the morning
?
I don't know.
