    Snider, C. H. J., Toronto Telegram, 9 Jun 1956     Note: It is the consistent policy of this site to transcribe the long "S" (ſ) as an "s". To use an "F" for which Snider makes excuses in the next column is unfortunate as it inhibits effective keyword searching, and is, frankly, a deliberate misspelling of every word thus rendered.

Schooner Days


"Schooner Days was a newspaper column which ran Saturdays in the Telegram for more than a quarter of a century beginning in 1931. In it, C.H.J. Snider described in vivid detail the lake shipping scene of the late nineteenth century, touching on both sail and steam, and drawing on experience gained from his own years of service aboard such sailing vessels as the ALBACORE and the famous STUART H. DUNN. Many accounts draw on the memories of a wide range of correspondents from around the Lakes.
