Went to the Maui museum on Whalers.

Most of the poor sailors who signed up left their homes for 2-3 years for a percentage of the net take but by the time they got back they had to take advances for expenses so they barely made anything.

When my Mother in Law passed away my Brother in Law (nasty puke) wanted them too bad I did not know sooner I would have sharpened them. Think of the jobs lost when they banned lawn darts.
