Boating Blog Trivia Holiday Quiz

Today is Thanksgiving Day here in the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and for that matter everywhere else in the other twelve former British colonies, three independent republics, and sundry other territories acquired by war, treaty or purchase that now make up the 3.79 million square miles of the fifty United States of America. You may have heard of them.
