It's on a wall, possibly in New Orleans.
I believe that is the 4 H artwork from one of the younger members on this site. He won first prize I believe it was for creativity and originality. All that and only at the ripe ol' age of 10 1/2. Pretty good for a school kid, I say! But then a bit of tragedy ensued, where upon when the boy was visiting Dl he lost it over board while cavorting with the pirates, matter of fact he was almost banned from the park for an entire day, because he did not listen to his parents when they told him to not jump up onto the Captains quarters, but did he listen? Well of course not! No self respecting pirate or privateer would listen to anyone but themselves, unless of course they might actually be able to profit from it. Otherwise.... no! And all pirates are unanimous on that point.
It looks like someone or something found it! The boy will be so glad and happy to have it returned to him. Just PM me for my I meant his address. Merci Beaucoup!
In times past fire departments were private concerns .in order to access their services you had to have fire insurance of sorts .basically you subscribed to a given company theyd give you a plaque to hang on your building .if your building caught on fire the plaque would tell the fire department that you were covered by the company and theyd fight the fire .if you hadnt subscribed then theyd let your building burn down, provided its didnt endanger a neighbour who did subscribe .
Fire departments around the world used to operate this way, back in the day ..

Wow, this is the first time I've ever heard of this. Something new to hunt for the next time we go.
