By *Sidney Lanier Bridge work is continuing into 2004, as is the work of completing a newer landmark that's been eight years in the making *The wilderness area on Cumberland Isaldn could increase by more than 32 acres if the National Park Service approves a proposed land swap *Bird killings tarnish image of fishermen *State-led effort to restore polluted waterways in the Pensacola Bay Basin that begins this month has the potential to hit homeowners, businesses and public entities in their pocketbooks *Beach can be lost, couple warns Count Felix von Luckner known as the Sea Devil, captained Seeadler, a sailing vessel carrying an auxiliary engine, and fitted out as an Armed Merchant Raider in World War 1. He was a dashing character with a great imagination, who fought his enemy both with flair and fairness. He claimed never to have harmed anyone purposely. On Ahoy, I have covered his wartime activities in my : Marauders of the Sea. German Armed Merchant Ships During World War 1. Since its publication, the wily Count and his exploits have drawn more comment from people around the world than any other item on our site that I have written about. So much so, that Terry Kearns, my Web Master and myself, have decided to feature these comments on Ahoy. Mac's Web Log as a Main Feature, under the Key word Luckner. We always welcome both comments and any questions you may care to pose, although we never claim infallability, every endeavour is made to provide an accurate and cogent response. Enjoy.
