From Micah (year 2):
When Jim was 8, he built a ship engine. When he was ten, he thought he was old enough to go on the ship. It was a steamer. A young man was hired to teach him while they were on the ship.
From Mom:
When Nathaniel grew up, he married and had a baby, that they names James or Jim. Jim was always around ships, but when he was still young, decided he liked engines better than ships. He in particular liked the big engines of the steamers. He did a dance to the time of the engine. When he was 8, he sailed on a steamer, and had a tutor to teach him more because his Dad couldn't handle all his questions. Everyone thought that he had outgrown Seabird because he never played with it, and he had bolted the bird to his wall. But when they asked him, he said "You know I admire odd inventions".
