  1. Vaughan May I share this on the FB groups I have that is dedicated to the Harrison's of Ludham and the Harrison-Lake-Cossey Boats pages. I am sure other descendants of Robert Harrison would like to see it.
  2. Vaughan As a member of the Harrison family and part of it's boat building heritage I for one - and I am sure I can speak for the rest of the family - am very appreciative of your dedication and love you had for the property. I can understand the feelings of loss having just gone through trying to save a historic tug, designed and built by my grandfather, restored and sailed by my father, only to have an uncaring and naive City Council cut her up for scrap. I too am grateful to Nigel for his work in helping me discover my roots. Thank you both for helping future generations understand this location and it's history.

    I recently found out that the Jubilee was built by my ancestors the Harrisons. Is she still afloat? where can she be found. I would love to see her up close.
  4. I recently found out I am a descendant of the Harrison's. If you know them I would like to connect. Thomas Robert CoSsey apprenticed under Robert Moon Harrison. Thomas eventually married Robert's daughter Mary Elizabeth Harrison. They emigrated to Canada and built boats here for the Hudson's Bay company. Cosseys set up shop in Ontario, one of the Harrisons opened a boat yard in Toledo Ohio. Their brother in law William Lake settled in BC with a boat yard.
