John Martin Munro Kerr was born in Glasgow on 5th December, 1868. His father was a ship-owner, and the same newspaper which intimated the birth of the baby announced on the advertisement page that three of the firm's vessels were loading at the docks in readiness for their departure-the fine Clipper Barque "Tuisco", 360 tons, to the Barbados; the Beautiful Clipper Schooner "Menthorn", 219 tons, to Bahia; and the Handsome Clipper Barque "Mary Ada", 328 tons, to St. Vincent and Granada-details which convey more clearly than mere dates the significance of ninety-two years.
