The debate reveals political narrowmindedness and a broader public interest in northern progress.

Remarkable Seafaring Life Of Veteran Captain Smith
One of the notable inmates of the Cante for Aged seamen at Belvedere Kent is Mr Smith who sailed fifty six years in all directions. He first went to sea at 14 from Aberdeeen and earned his master's certificate seven years later as the youngest captain. His vessel Retriever crossed the Atlantic and he was later confined to a berth for days en route to Bermuda. He claims to have run the blockade during the War and to have never lost a vessel under his command.
