RE: Vintage 1977 Nippon Maru Silver Bar and the OPM82 Silver Compass coin

in LeoFinance3 years ago

I think I remember the Nippon Maru coming to Vancouver too. It was impressive and their was doubt if it could fit under the Lion's Gate Bridge. They waited for low tide to get her in and I believe the ship tours were very full with long lines. I didn't get to get on board when she was there but very impressive ship and I have no doubt you would have loved it.

Seemed ages ago seeing it from a distance.
My Father telling me, "That is a big sailing ship and people traveled the world in it." That scene may have been planted in my head since and seeded the beginnings of my pirate ways. Lol!

Thanks PD
