Sorry. Not Kingston
I thought this would be an easy one.
Now that he is back Markabilly is dropping more hints when we aren't too busy insulting each other.
I just hope no one thinks we are serious!! :eek:

I am always serious and I am hung up and hung over over the names of two british rowboats of clearly insignifigant unimportance somewhwere around the great lakes that not even the oshawa boy knows...to be thinking about hints as to where tiny monsters breed, but okay,
have you people no imagination, no perception, that I must open the door to you with more hints?
the reason for the name is no longer true
donKeys and wild hairy asses are close and Caroline is even closer if she were not another lost angel (and that is a double hint) but the white dove sleeps, yet how many years will it take
finally not only where tiny monsters breed but a place of death for those caroline loves most

Wild Guess

The tarantula gets its name from the city of Taranto, a city in southern Italy. Between the 15th and 17th centuries, Taranto was hit by a dance craze unlike any other. Many people there were afflicted by an illness called "tarantism," also named after Taranto. This illness was characterized by a hysterical impulse to dance. Some people claimed that tarantism was caused by the bite of the tarantula and they thought that dancing off the venom was the only cure.

Mark in Oshawa knows. He just didn't answer because he was going on the road. We discussed it privately. The port also needs naming. It was a major military establishment in the 1800's with an army garrison.
US Navy did not consider one of them to be a rowboat at the time. The other smaller one was an unarmed supply vessel.
Both are replicas and even the larger one does not now carry guns, except for a saluting 2 pdr. At one time she had a broadside of 6 pdrs. I will not say how many until later.
There were other warships stationed there in the 1800's in addition to the replicas there now. Their guns were removed when Canada and the US signed a Treaty banning warships on the Great Lakes. I believe that was in effect until WW2.
