Having just returned from the 2012 edition of McDougall’s Dream at the Superior Public Museums, it reminded me that for all the time spent on this project, very little has come of it. I tend to get sidetracked with grading, other projects, editing, and the like in my everyday life. McDougall, unfortunately, gets pushed aside in the press, until I either “have” the time or am pressed for something. Thus, this blog is a method to provide some motivation (an audience, no matter how small) and to provide some tangible outcome to the time I have spent on a person of no small interest. Thank you for reading, and I hope to offer some information and entertainment to my fellow McDougall devotees.

Hi Matt –
A McDougall/whaleback blog – why didn’t you think of this sooner? Great idea!!! I’ll be logging in each and every day to see what’s new and exciting in the world of the pig boats and Islay’s most famous son.

I shall try to, grading tends to get me down on working on the project. I’m going to battle through and put one up tonight.
Interesting read. I born and raised in Collingwood and have been delving into the history of the Collingwood Shipyard. The whaleback is so foreign to the bulk carriers I saw built and launched.
