He is possibly the Herbert Ramsay described as a life long resident of Malpeque who recently celebrated his 92nd birthday in a newspaper clipping dated around 1970. He well-remembered the latter part of the 19th century when sailing vessels provided an important method of transportation. In 1890 when he was 12 years old he first began sailing on his father's vessel the Seafoam. At that time grain grown in the Malpeque area was loaded on the Seafoam tied up at Keir's Wharf, Malpeque. When loaded the vessel set sail for Bideford or Port Hill where square-rigged ships were being loaded with grain for export to England.
