Thread Name: Acres of Clams/Old Settler's Song (various songs)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Acres of Clams (Francis Henry)
Two stories mixed up here.
Boston Molasses Flood of 1919, an Ivar Johnson involved.
Not connected in any way to Ivar Haglund, Seattle, and his seafood restaurant; he put signs underneath the water and pulled other tricks mentioned in the Seattle Times, but none with molasses. Much later events.
See previous thread 48089.
