Each ship icon on this map represents a sunken vessel!

This is a 'Light Ship'.  This ship was on duty for 17 years at the mouth of the Columbia River with lights and a huge fog horn to warn ships of the hazardous entry!

I tried both types of Gin.

And the Absinthe!

Ice water dripped over a sugar cube into Absinthe spirit...

Makes a drink that was BANNED in the US from 1915 to 2007!

I purchased a bottle as it is quite tasty.
