It has been a while since I've seen a thread like this - the rules are simple: attempt to identify the location of the last posted picture in the thread. Once the picture poster confirms the first correct responder that person then gets to add a (sailing-related) picture to the thread and the game continues.

Since I'm no good at this type of guesswork my only chance of getting a picture into the thread is by starting it off with the following picture:

BAP Abtao is a Sierra-type submarine which was launched as Tiburon (Shark). In 1957 her name was changed to Abtao in memory of the naval battle of 7 February 1866 fought between the Spanish and Peruvian/Chilean naval squadrons.

Yes to Gulf Islands, not so near Moresby.. this place, now a popular park, was subject of some notoriety in the 1920s

It may have been, but that's not the notoriety mentioned, brother!

It was Brother XII... and you're on the right track. He had two 'centers', though.. this was the location of one.

When the 'Bro" burned everything and left deCoursey to avoid the police he went to Roberts Creek to hide out. As a child I played in the boxes he had used to transport his 20 million in gold coins. See 'Canada's False Prophet.' AS a juvi delinquent I was before Judge Beaver Potts, Same magistrate as XII stood before. Sure is neat to have been part of our local history even if we didn't know it at the time.

OK guys... somebody's got to name this spot!!

Paulo (PCP) would not appreciate the name!;)

I'm happy to let Len have it.. you're right, he did name 'DeCourcy' island.. I was after the park/cove itself. The Paulo hint was supposed to clinch it.

He's baffled by we North Americans' celebrations of 'Pirates'...

This is Pirate's Cove Marine park, tucked into a nook on the infamous Brother XII's island enclave.



OK Capt Len - you're next.
