Vincent Reid:
I went and took these pics of the old airport building at Diamond . One of them( A plane wheel) is the last piece of evidence I have seen of it ever being there ,apart from the Name on the building . So I sent them to you and maybe you might be able to use them somehow..
Thanks to Vincent Reid.
If anybodyelse can add to this please drop me a note.

The Barrouallie Whalers are just what you describe. Our main focus is to revive/highlight/stur-up and creat interest in an rich Cultural aspect of our heritage that is the Oral tradiction of the historical Barrouallie(Blackfish) Pilot whalers.
We have been fortunate to present these songs, known to all as "Shanties" to audiences at the Mystic Seaport Museum sea Music festival in Connecticut And at the Workum Sea Music Festival in Holland.
We have plan in progress to ensure that such a tradition don't die .
