Actually the historical society is using the name Maid (Made?) Marion Project for the stabilization and restoration work on the shovel. Its a play on words at a couple of levels, including the old children's story of Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel Mary Ann.

Its a play on words at a couple of levels, including the old children's story of Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel Mary Ann.As a total aside, when you drive from NY to ME, you probably drive up route 495 in Massachusetts. You pass just a few miles away from West Newbury, MA, where "Mike Mulligan" was written. If you look at the book, you'll see " *Acknowledgments to Dickie Birkenbush. " on the page where a little boy suggests Mary Anne becomes the furnace. Well, that's because 12 year old Dickie Berkenbush suggested to the author how to solve the problem because she had written Mary Anne into the cellar and couldn't figure out how to get her out. (yes, its spelled wrong in the book) That little boy was on West Newbury's fire department for almost 40 years, and became fire chief, police chief, and selectman of the town... (and, and an even further aside, West Newbury is also where Wrestling superstar John Cena grew up)
