Patricia Lake

Uploaded: September 05, 2012

Description

Jasper, Alberta I saw this lake on the map and of course had to go there to see the lake they named after me (LOL LOL). The lake was actually named for Princess Patricia of Connaught who was a governor-general's daughter.

I read the history of the lake....it has some interesting background... during World War II there were plans to build an unsinkable aircraft carrier from an ice-based composite material termed "Pykrete". It never worked...and parts are still on the bottom of the lake LOL....Funny what we humans do! Thanks for the lovely comments.... #10315180
