The care home in Maine was not called Cliffside Suites. Molly was a longtime friend of the owners and operators of a tourist vacation suite in Alma Village that is called Cliffside Suites. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.166.243.216 (talk • contribs) Bongo matic 12:50, 6 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Is this a plug for the Cliffside Suites? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.162.119.184 (talk) 17:25, 18 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

This poster on a CBC news online article^[1] refutes the claim Myrtle was the first when he contends that his/her mother was an earlier Canadian sea captain, when she writes:

Molly Kool was not the first woman skipper in Canada. Dorothy Blackmore of Port Alberni, B.C., achieved her Certificate of Competency #14608 from The Minister of Transport for the Dominion of Canada as a Master Mariner on December 17, 1937. This is 2 years prior to Molly Kool receiving hers.

I have all the original documentation proving this claim, which I would be happy to share in order to correct the record in honour of my mother's memory.

The discussion may centre on limitations on the mariner status by geography or other type, where master mariner is the highest rank. But if true, the two are clearly Canadian pioneers together and should continue to be celebrated for their achievements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.162.119.184 (talk) 19:51, 23 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Dorothy Blackmore of Port Alberni, B.C. may be a contender for the title of first female sea captian depending on the qualifications one uses.

"Girl, 23, Qualifies As Tugboat Captain PORT ALBERNI, B. C. (UP)— Dorothy Clarice Blackmore, a. 23 year-old blonde, Is planning to b Canada's first woman tugboat captain. Dorothy recently passed her examination for a tugboat master certificate under supervising examlner Lionel H. Lindsay of Vancouver, and confirmation from Ottawa Is expected soon. The girl has spent six years on her father's tugboat and Is a high school graduate."^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.153.90 (talk) 02:10, 8 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

I do agree that Molly Kool was not the first woman to get a Master certificate. In addition to Dorothy Blackmore, Françoise Arcand Lemay, from Lotbinière/Montréal received her master certificate en Febrary 1938 and sailed on the small tanker Adelphie, and Ollie Johnson, from Montreal did succeded in getting her Master Certificate for the Great Lakes in March 1938.
