And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I saw one of those get dumped off the back of a freighter a few years ago at the shipyards on Swan Island in Portland. I was on a small runabout when I saw something big and orange start moving out of the corner of my eye about 75 yards away. There was no warning, just off it went. Looked just like that. Pretty impressive at water level!

It was probably a pain to re mount it on the ship, and good thing you weren't any closer.
DeleteCool.
