His, in a way, is one of those COVID stories. The son of a scuba diver, he had been snorkeling for as far back as he could remember. There were pop bottles — Canada Dry and Sussex ginger ale, Wink, Mountain Dew, Fresca, and Hires Root Beer — along with beer, and wine bottles and an old quart of whisky. There were bottles that once held Heinz ketchup, Javex, Milk of Magnesia, and other unidentified elixirs. There was a tea pot shard, bits of pottery, and a handle from a ceramic vessel.
McMullen ruptured an eardrum while doing scuba training, so he dives using a snorkel, or, for deeper depths, a donated, battery-operated breathing apparatus that floats on the water’s surface. A one-cent coin in the Sackville River, and a circa-1850 bottle from the Nash brothers’ soda pop plant that once stood across from Halifax’s Citadel Hill, which he found in Ketch Harbour.
