I have heard it is possible that there were trade links with Cornwall from ancient times, as Tin was used to make Bronze.<br />Just to ask, do you think or know if 'A Lady's Honor' will be available on Nergalley? I tend to gravitate towards books set in Britain I might have time to read it by April.English Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806974885775295349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-82389875918829515192014-03-17T03:37:14.772-04:002014-03-17T03:37:14.772-04:00Thanks for stopping by.

My great-grandfather's family had a shipping company on the Mississippi River in Louisiana and had steamboats to carry cargo of sugar cane and cotton to other ports.

For part of my research hubby and I took a short cruise on the Belle of Louisville. What fun! Moonlight Promise sound WONDERFUL! Makes me want to take another trip on the Belle. :)Ramona Cecilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350201065802836869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-15782580273862167592014-03-15T13:07:25.492-04:002014-03-15T13:07:25.492-04:00I loved the pictures and all the info about steam ...I loved the pictures and all the info about steam engines.
