Wow! I received a Mac for Christmas, and while researching my great uncle, Edward Farrington (my maternal Grandmother's brother), who was mayor of New Brunswick, New Jersey (1915 - 1918) I found a plethora of information. I thought I would not find anything, or very little. I WAS WRONG! Among the surprising things I came across was item #8 above. It appears that this electric freight boat was named after him. I never knew him or my Grandmother as they were deceased by the time I was born in 1940, but I did hear family stories. I did not know about the above. What a nice surprise!
