Robert Stranahan, along with Albert Champion, was a founder of Champion Spark Plugs.
The Champion business started in Boston around 1900 but left Boston when the company had troubles with its backers. Albert Champion went to Flint, Mi where he would restart the company and speacilize in ignitions while Stranahan went to Toledo, Oh and still speacilized in spark plugs. Being closer to Detroit, which became the motor capitol of the world, Champion would become a multi billion dollar company. It was Stranahan who designed the bow tie symbal that is still on Champion products today.
Robert Stranahan is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in Toledo, Oh.

Pictures of the container ship Maersk Kinloss taken as we were returning to the Port of New York on Friday August 3rd, 2018. On board the Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas at the start of our week-long cruise to New England and Canada (July 27th - August 3rd, 2018). The cruise departed from the Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne, New Jersey and stopped at Portland (Maine), Bar Harbor (Maine), Saint John (New Brunswick) and Halifax (Nova Scotia). These pictures from the ship as it was in port and returning from a great cruise vacation. Also some pictures of the Robbins Reef Light. Pictures taken on Friday August 3rd, 2018.
That's the only way I can describe it - a sparkplug sticking out of the top of the airplane.
(probably just an antenna - I can't imagine they needed to mount a marker light up higher - but you never know).
Spring Point Ledge Light is a sparkplug lighthouse in South Portland, Maine that marks a dangerous obstruction on the west side of the main shipping channel into Portland Harbor. It is now adjacent to the campus of Southern Maine Community College.
The lighthouse was constructed in 1897 by the government after seven steamship companies stated that many of their vessels ran aground on Spring Point Ledge. Congress initially allocated $20,000 to its construction, although the total cost of the tower ended up being $45,000 due to problems with storms and poor quality cement. The lighthouse featured a fog horn that sounded every 12 second, and a lantern fitted with a fifth order Fresnel lens first lit by Keeper William A. Lane on May 24, 1897.
Improvements were made to the lighthouse throughout the 20th century. It was electrified in 1934, and in 1951, a 900-foot breakwater made from 50,000 tons of granite was constructed in order to connect the lighthouse to the mainland.

Chris Ko lent his car to
Bluechem-canada.com so Ryan Wilford could do a product demonstration for Bluechem's Oil System Cleaner product. The whole story appears in the comments on a similar Websta photo about the Oil System Cleaner product demo we did in North York, Saturday the 7th of Feb 2015.
Found instructions for doing this on the internet. Our 3yr old _loves_ the movie Cars, so I decided to make this for her from our car. :-)
