Download or read book New England Candlepin Bowling written by Susan Mara Bregman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Candlepin bowling is hard. So hard, in fact, that no one has ever bowled a perfect game. The pins are tall and skinny, the balls are small enough to fit in a player's hand, and the fallen pins are not cleared between rolls. Originating in Worcester, Massachusetts, in the late 19th century and played today mostly in New England and eastern Canada, the game has a rich and colorful history. In the days before automation, sure-footed pin boys manually reset the pins and returned the balls. A long-running, top-rated Boston television show regularly transformed unassuming candlepinners into regional celebrities. And the game has something called a Half Worcester. Author and photographer Susan Mara Bregman bowled at dozens of candlepin centers, combed through dusty archives, and interviewed industry insiders to create this affectionate look at one of America's quirkiest pastimes.
Download or read book A Fall Cruise Guide to Eastern Canada and New England 2019 20 written by Dr Lew Deitch and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-26 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year a transformation occurs in the broadleaf forests of eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. It is known as the changing of the colors, and it is one of nature's most breathtaking spectacles. Going back as far as colonial times, locals would ride their carriages or wagons into the countryside and often picnic or camp out just to witness this spectacle, many spending the weekend in communion with nature. By the late 19th century, railroads began to offer special excursions that brought visitors from even greater distances. Country inns that used to cater to spring and summer visitors from the cities began to remain open past the Labor/Labour Day weekend to accommodate those who were now coming to enjoy the fall foliage. Visitors were dubbed "leaf peepers" by locals and this term is still widely used today. The idea of fall cruising the St. Lawrence River, around the shores of the Canadian Atlantic provinces and the New England shores came later, and today this is one of the most in demand itineraries with most major cruise lines participating. What easier way to see the cavalcade of brilliant colors without the need to be driving hundreds of miles, staying in numerous hotels or country inns than to do it on board a luxury cruise ship. As more people are introduced to the comfort and convenience of cruising, it has become one of the most sought after means for viewing the changing colors of eastern Canada and New England. Again there is one limitation to a fall cruise to see the colors as opposed to motoring. This two volume set is designed to give you the best information possible to help you plan what to see, where to dine and how to maximize your onshore time at each of the ports of call in Eastern Canada and New England during the magnificent fall season. This is not a mass market book, but one designed to bring you the very best of what awaits you on shore. This is Volume 2, which brings you the New England ports of call.

Download or read book The Great Halifax Explosion written by John U. Bacon and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER The "riveting" (National Post) tick-tock account of the largest manmade explosion in history prior to the atomic bomb, and the equally astonishing tales of survival and heroism that emerged from the ashes “Enthralling. ... Gripping. ... A captivating and emotionally investing journey.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette After steaming out of New York City on December 1, 1917, laden with a staggering three thousand tons of TNT and other explosives, the munitions ship Mont-Blanc fought its way up the Atlantic coast, through waters prowled by enemy U-boats. As it approached the lively port city of Halifax, Mont-Blanc's deadly cargo erupted with the force of 2.9 kilotons of TNT—the most powerful explosion ever visited on a human population, save for HIroshima and Nagasaki. Mont-Blanc was vaporized in one fifteenth of a second; a shockwave leveled the surrounding city. Next came a thirty-five-foot tsunami. Most astounding of all, however, were the incredible tales of survival and heroism that soon emerged from the rubble. This is the unforgettable story told in John U. Bacon's The Great Halifax Explosion: a ticktock account of fateful decisions that led to doom, the human faces of the blast's 11,000 casualties, and the equally moving individual stories of those who lived and selflessly threw themselves into urgent rescue work that saved thousands. The shocking scale of the disaster stunned the world, dominating global headlines even amid the calamity of the First World War. Hours after the blast, Boston sent trains and ships filled with doctors, medicine, and money. The explosion would revolutionize pediatric medicine; transform U.S.-Canadian relations; and provide physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, who studied the Halifax explosion closely when developing the atomic bomb, with history's only real-world case study demonstrating the lethal power of a weapon of mass destruction. Mesmerizing and inspiring, Bacon's deeply-researched narrative brings to life the tragedy, bravery, and surprising afterlife of one of the most dramatic events of modern times.
