These heroines of the War of 1812 lived at Scituate Lighthouse and have been immortalized in a number of books and publications.
On June 11, 1814, during the War of 1812, British forces burned and plundered a number of ships at Scituate.

I don't want to toot my fife to make a point...but the point is...a gun isn't always necessary to resolve a problem. In my humble opinion, guns are not necessary to resolve any problem, period!! But I stray... Oh, and by the way, your photo is absolutely wonderful Constantine.
