straight to sea at the age of 11
years. ' It was on Lord
Collingwood's flagship
"Queen" that Admiral
Bayfield served very early in
his career.
To do her research on the
Admiral, for whom the
Village of Bayfield is named,
Mrs. Althoff went through the
first building of the National
Maritime Museum where her,
handbag and another bag
were thoroughly searched
(this was a frequent hap-
pening so you just got used to
it interjected Mrs. Althoff)
and walked along a colonnade
and entered the main part of
the Museum noted as the
world's largest and most
comprehensive Maritime
Museum and an international
centre of Maritime historical
research. The Library con-
tains 60,000 books and its
collection of historical
manuscripts fills nearly a
mile of shelving.
Mrs. Althoff was taken by
the 'chief librarian into the
hushed silence of ,the library,
seated at a large table and
started looking up references
for her. Mrs._' Althoff found
one book "Memoirs of
„Hydrography" by Com-
mander Dawson, which gave
a very comprehensive
coverage of Admiral Bayfield
which she had xeroxed in full
and is now in the Archives of
the Bayfield Society. It
contained a long list of the.
Admiral's charts and after a
phone call, Mrs. Althoff was
allowed to go to the
Navigation Room, where she
handled and searched
through the Admiral's charts
but was not able to find the
one,on Lake Huron.
On returning to the
Library, Mrs. Althoff found
further information con-
cerning the career of the
Admiral in a book called
