I remember Isalene Mason telling me that during the war a ship call the Cornwallace was torpedoed of Barbados and tins of Klim milk washed up on the beaches but that was in 1942 the year I was born.

Items were washed up sometime between 1963 and 1969

I asked my mother (Edith Mason-Butcher) not long ago about the goodies washing up on Skeete's bay and she told me that "about 30 or 40 years ago, or perhaps longer", canned food washed up on skeete's bay. She could not remember how long ago it was, but remembers that it was a "long, long, long time ago". Did not remember it being anything that could be eaten and did not know if it could have been from a shipwreck.

I remember when I was going to school at Miss Skeene School before or after hurricane Janet something like that happened at skeetes Bay. I remember it was called blow cheese. It was said that a ship had probably sunk because pieces of wood had also washed ashore.

There was a time when folks were being baptize at
Skeetes Bay. (Does anyone remember that?)?.And how could you forget.....all the men coming up from Skeetes Bay hill with buckets from fishing, Florence (Mason) watching the sea and saying, "look ya Daddy coming in". You would run a find a can or something to get a fish from Granddad, (Joseph Mason) then join the other Mason kids to roast your fish.
