| Spilsbury's Album |
![]() (Source: www.harbourpublishing.com) A follow-up to Spilsbury's Coast that contains many photographs of and anecdotes about Savary's early days. He ties it all together with a series of topical essays about various aspects of life on Savary, such as, "Savary Island Cuisine" [his mother would throw a whole chicken in a pot and boil it, beak and all]. As with Spilsbury's Coast, this is a great read for anyone interested in the history of Savary Island. ![]() "That's my dad [Ashton Spilsbury] rowing the Herchmers' boat, c. 1914. I am in the bow keeping watch; Mrs. Herchmer and Laurencia are in the stern." (Source: Spilsbury's Album by Jim Spilsbury, Harbour Publishing, 1990, www.harbourpublishing.com) Notes 1.
