Interesting information. Sounds like at least they ate reasonably well, at least. That would have made a big difference in the winter. Men need calories against the cold.

My great grandparents, Harris & Bella Feldman were 2 of the 4 survivors who were rescued off the deck. I still have the metal and award he was given for helping people that night. I’ve never heard the full story told like this. It was fascinating to hear! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing that Stacy
Wow lots of work went into this video. That's for that, this is great
Excellent job sir
Interesting.
I went to school with her.
Todo lo que he visto es un sin fin de ideas ojalá muchos jóvenes emprendieran algo de todos estos conocimientos y gratificante poder obcervarlos e imaginar
This whole video is informative but also brings such a smile to my face. Thank you for putting this together, these stories are important to hear! "We're still not sure what possessed her" had me chuckling
Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed the video. We've had so many wonderful volunteers and we'll be creating more of these walks down memory lane in the future
Muhteşem 🇹🇷♥️

I really enjoyed your presentation. Thank you.
This is so interesting. I grew up on Bay View Park. I remember the foundation.
Thanks Mike: Always curious of the Markland Hotel and the BayView, filled in a number of blank spots that I could never explain. Going in and out of the bar at low tide you can still see signs of the old spiles, that would have been that walkway.
This is a fascinating history of the Markland Hotel(s) with many photos that show the story of Cape Forchu's tourism legacy. Well done, Mike Cunningham!
So incredibly intricate and beautiful!
Great video!
Thank you Suzanne
Great video!
The World of Dew was an absolutely phenomenal book. Thanks for the chance to go behind the stories with you.
Thank you Jennifer and you're welcome. It is a fantastic book!
