Oh the Martin Mars. ❤️ With gov. money dedicated, finally Hawaii will find a museum home in BC. Phillipine will hopefully retire in the USA.
It's all a shame though. These planes are still airworthy and can still fight massive fires like nothing else.
It's politics and corruption, not performance, that ended their careers. I'm glad I played a part in trying to keep them fighting.
There is a good video in the article but I’ll post my favourite.

The African American History Museum is in Detroit, a short drive from Toronto. Had the chance to visit last year and it was quite an experience to walk through what a slave ship would have looked like.
Definitely worth a visit to Detroit for that (and many other reasons!)

“When I was starting to make work about nuclear issues, I wondered: How do you capture something that is not in front of you? If the camera is a device that has a lens pointed forward and captures what exists in front of you, how do I capture something that's gone or invisible, like radiation or history or memory?” said artist Kei Ito. Read more in this interview with him:

Someone at the local museum found this map today and sent it to me. It's from 1892 of Stamp Harbour in #PortAlberni near the very beginning of the settlement by colonialists in the area.
The mark that sticks out for me is “Remains of old Indian Vil.” (about 1/4 up the river in the top right). I believe this is what is properly known as “Nuupts’ ikapis” by the Tseshaht and H…

A yellowed picture of a two inserts on a nautical chart depicts the Stamp Harbour “Head of Barkley Sound” and “Entrance Anchorage”. The depth markings are believed to be in fathoms. There is a scale in 10 cables or 1 Sea Mile at the bottom of the first insert. Below the first insert is a second slightly wider insert for “Barkley Sound Eastern Channel - Entrance Anchorage” showing Satellite Pass, Hill I., Wizard Islet, Helby I., and other shores.
