Do any of you know the meaning of the whale/ocean on McClelland tins like Christmas Cheer or 40th Anniversary? I have always thought it makes for a nice looking tin but never knew if there was any significance to it.

It goes back, I believe, to Mary's Grandfather's crossing of the Atlantic, when he was a boy. He was not having fun on the crossing. His spirits picked up when he saw a pod of Whales.
