One State left Victoria. Is it on the coast George?

Victoria, it is.
This tower is on the coast where the ships can see it.

After the discontinuing of the bluestone tower as a lighthouse the time ball mechanism was moved to the top of the tower around 1860. It is definitely known to have been operating there in 1861.

The time ball operated from then until 1926 when the keeper fell ill and died. By then most ships had the more advanced technology of wireless communication time-signals. It is said that when the time was turned off not one person in Melbourne even noticed!





Someone else please.

That was just a fun thing, Dutchy. It's a statue of Virginia Dare, the first white child born in America. It is in Manteo, North Carolina on the Outer Banks. You may not know of The Lost Colony.

You go, honey.

That structure resembles New England architecture, Dutchy. Ok, is it as far Northeast as Maine?

Looks vaguely like something one might find in, or around, Ohio.

I've learned to trust Gus' judgement when he is serious. Well, is that house the home of someone famous, Dutchy?
