FTA (my emphasis added):
''This is a very important vessel. Historically it was the final expedition ship of Sir Ernest Shackleton," he said Wednesday morning at a news conference at the Marine Institute in St. John’s. “As many of you know, he died on this ship on his final expedition of the Shackleton–Rowett expedition, which set out to initially explore Canada.”
Now here’s the great UKLG in “A Non-Euclidean View of California as a Cold Place to Be”:
One of our finest methods of organized forgetting is called discovery. Julius Caesar exemplifies the technique with characteristic elegance in his Gallic Wars. “It was not certain that Britain existed,” he says, “until I went there.”
To whom was it not certain? But what the heathen know doesn’t count. Only if godlike Caesar sees it can Britannia rule the waves.
Only if a European discovered or invented it could America exist. At least Columbus had the wit, in his madness, to mistake Venezuela for the outskirts of Paradise. But he remarked on the availability of cheap slave labor in Paradise.
The article closes with this:
Traditional Chief Mi’sel Joe of the Miawpukek First Nation, another expedition patron, said he was happy the vessel had been found, noting it had sunk in waters off Mi’kmaw, Innu and Inuit territories.
“I was happy to share local knowledge with the captain and crew of the search vessel ahead of time to find Quest and honoured that Miawpukek Horizon Marine assisted in planning the expedition.”
Good post thank you comrade, your contribution was more significant than the frustrating nothingness of the article
(very weak attempt to bump this)
