Mebbe the FV Sherman Zwicker? The schooner was built in Nova Scotia back in the 40s. -SJBill Howabout up in Maine? Mebbe the FV Sherman Zwicker?

As newer carriers are nulcear-powered, it's not one of the carriers now at sea. Of the older carriers which are now museums, I only know of the USS Midway and the USS Intrepid---which is now being over-hauled. As the USS Midway is on the west coast, I think, my guess will be: beside the engines of the USS Intrepid. Veritas et Fidelis Semper Well, your clue helps but a little, sir.

Now that SJS has added "...it's maritime all right...", that turns it around. Therefore, my guess is MEGEN is: beside the boilers at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. Dear SJS: 'Tis much weeping, wailing, and woeful whimpering happening over your absence, but so long as you return...well...enjoy your vacation...any Willow trees around and you could...you know...make a big switch.
