Observer, I think you are being somewhat obtuse -- or, possibly. trolling (as Jim has suggested).

I don't think it would be difficult to show (from TV and press reports) that the original protest on 3/3/61 involved more than just a few kayakers : I'm absolutely certain that there will be print and video evidence of onshore activity, either marching or sitting.

But what I do know, without a shadow of a doubt, is that one of the treasures of the whole protest is the grand song 'The Eskimo Republic'

   Where there is nae class and there is nae boss
   Nae kings or queens and damn the loss
   And you get boozed up for a six-month doss
   In the Eskimo Republic!
