HISTORY: I saw your reference to Newtownsandes the a rootsweb Kennelly page. You seem to have access to some facts and I was praying you might have what I have been searching for. I am trying to find info on a “Murtagh (Mortimer?) Kennelly, born in Newtownsandes in the late 1700’s. He Married Catherine Flahaven and had 4 children who emigrated to Canada. There might be other children also who stayed in Ireland or went somewhere else (U.S., Australia, New Zealand?), I have no idea. The 4 who travelled to the Ottawa area in Canada are Martin b.1807, Bridget b. 1793, Ellen b. ?, and Catherine b. ?. There are at least 4 other Kennelly clans throughout Ontario, Canada, but we can’t make any connection as far as relationship, even though they all seem to have come from the same area (Kerry, Limerick) of Ireland. Seems to be an old tale of some disagreement early after arrival in Canada and kinship was never claimed after that. Doesn’t seem to be anything some Irish lads would do … oh no! I was hoping to get at least a small link to my g-g-g- gran. I have much of the line complete since arrival in Canada, and am hoping to go back a little more. Thanks in advance, Shaun Kennelly

ELECTRIC: A 1908 Scientific American article covered a yacht “Cascapedia” that was built to carry an auxiliary power unit known as the Kilowatt, which enabled the yacht to operate for 100 hours, recharging it about a dozen times. And it would “make it independent of shore charging stations.”
The concept of hybrid oil-electric engines, similar to those SeaDream will rely on, also took hold at that time. Another Scientific American article introduced the first yacht to be equipped with a hybrid engine: “The yacht ‘Elfay,’ which went into commission in January, 1920, will probably occupy an important niche in the history of Marine engineering, for she is the first to be equipped with it.” The article described the yacht’s hybrid propulsion in great detail, noting the inner workings of the engine, power generators and controls. Although Elfay’s electric generator ran on oil, engineers believed at the time that such hybrid engines would “eventually prove the most satisfactory and efficient method of propelling ships.”
