Great review John. I cannot think why Gord changed "scrimshaw" to Necktie , perhap his tie was choking him and it was on his mind
I always liked the idea of a schooner carved on a piece of Whalebone
to illustrate the image from the past
"Of an old schooner flyin down a sky thats overcast "
or that your dad had a scrimshaw
"Of an old schooner rovin neath a sky thats ironclad"



Royal Navy frigate under full sail - scrimshaw on whalebone plaque
