This country came from the sea. Almost
all of us have ancestors who came across oceans to be here, much of our
early growth and prosperity came from fishing, boat building and trade,
and the oceans served as a protective barrier for many years. Here
are nine pages of places that celebrate that heritage.
Let us know of those
we've missed. |
