A copy of the 441 page journal written by James McKie, has come into the possession of the Society. He was a local lad who became a Fleet Engineer and on retirement came back to the town where he became the first curator of the Museum and also built Anchorlee. The pages covering his early years have been researched by members of the history society, and, in collaboration with his descendants, the society plans to publish this section of his memoirs with an explanatory commentary. David Devereux and Donald Henry - a direct descendant of John McKie - presented a selection from John's memoirs to the Society, thereby demonstrating what a valuable and unique local history resource it is.
