collar time

collar nIn the spring of the year approximately May 10 was what was called "collar time". We would get da vessels ready to "eave" her down & cork da bottom of "er". All da men from da community would "elp" to "eave" down the vessels. After ya all got em hoved down ya would let er up a bit. Someone would yell out "old her on cause we're goin to let her up a bit." All men would then leave er alone an put "er" up right again.DNE-cit JH 2/72Used I and SupUsed I4Not UsedBOAT, RODE, BERTH, on the collar, go in collar, come to collar, break collar, collar boat, rodney, collar buoy, buoy, collar chain, collar day, collar punt, punt, collar time, get in the collar, get off the collar, collar timeChecked by Jordyn Hughes on Thu 16 Jun 201
