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.

The wreck of the Wanderer, the last whaler out of New Bedford, aground on the west end of Cuttyhunk Island, MA in 1924. Pieces were still visible at low tide in the 1950’s
There was a ship much like that one that foundered off Point Fermin, CA when I was a boy. It too, remained present for years.
