For the photo at Mystic Seaport with almost no evidence of the 21st century (see _www.fer3.com/Mystic2006_ (http://www.fer3.com/Mystic2006) ), Philip Lange wrote: "If I recall there were a couple of rubber ducks tied to the sailing craft or to the quay." Yes. :-) Two rubber boats near the commercial schooners. There are three other modern items. I'll give up the hard one: there is an outboard motor, barely visible, on the small boat hanging from the stern of the schooner Harvey Gamage. The remaining two items that we've found are in plain sight... Look in the rigging. Still no takers on the strange appearance of the Weather Channel's Moon?? Grab any photo of the Full Moon and compare it with the images here: _www.fer3.com/wmoon.html_ (http://www.fer3.com/wmoon.html) . When or where does the Full Moon not look like the Full Moon? -FER 42.0N 87.7W, or 41.4N 72.1W. www.HistoricalAtlas.com/lunars
