The #FirstNations people of #BritishColumbia suffered a horrific #smallpox epidemic beginning in 1862 on #ThisDayInHistory when the 1851-built US #PaddleSteamer #BrotherJonathan arrived in Victoria from San Francisco. An estimated 2/3 of the Indigenous population was wiped out.
@CiaraNi I thought the Waverley, based in Glasgow, was the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world. Unless the Baltic doesnโ€™t count?

The P/S Waverley berthed at Pacific Quay in Glasgow. Built in 1946, this is the last sea-going passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world. With a length of 239 feet and a 2,100 hp steam engine built by Rankin and Blackmore of Greenock turning two lateral paddles (one of which can be seen in the foreground), she's capable of travelling at up to 18 knots.

We picked up a jigsaw when we sailed on Waverley recently as the money raised from sales helps with the upkeep of the vessel and we like jigsaws. It wasn't a very good quality puzzle, sadly, but it was fiendishly difficult as a lot of pieces were cut nearly identically with almost identical colouring. We rebuilt the edges and lots of sky and water several times in various fitting combinations before finishing.
