gobble gobble...what is this?

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose...after getting robed of $96 at the passport office I decided I'd hunt in a place that reminded me of this branch of the government and hit an old turkey/hay field farm. Sort of rough going but I had put this place on my "to do" list and finally got around to it. Hunt lasted an hour and this is all I have to show.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6da32b3127cce88f69395a8cf00000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Anyone have a take on this enamel and gold guild pin?

Headed home to eat planning on returning for an afternoon session but made the mistake of answering the phone...buggie bouy rides again. At least half of the 12 hour shift is double time and a half!

I found a RMS Belgic that was part of the White Star lines (of Titanic fame) The last one "aquired" by White Star by that name was in 1917. I'll see if I can find anything else the next sleepless night I have

BELGIC.
10,151 gross tons, length 510ft x beam 58.2ft (155,40m x 17,70m), one
funnel, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 14 knots. Accommodation
for 1,000-steerage class passengers.
Built by the New York Shipbuilding Co, Camden, NJ in 1902 as the
MISSISSIPPI for the Atlantic Transport Line's North Atlantic Service.
In 1906 she went to Red Star Line for their Antwerp - New York service
and was renamed SAMLAND. Sold to the White Star Line in 1911 and renamed BELGIC, she was used from Aug.1911 on the Liverpool - Wellington service (some books say Australia as well). Returned to the Red Star Line in Dec.1913 she resumed the name of SAMLAND and reverted to North Atlantic sailings until 1931 when she was scrapped.
