The MIZPAH (BCK-627) sailing into Hartlepool on September 22nd 2010. The vessel, registered in Buckie, Scotland, hasn't been seen in these parts for quite a while. The word Mizpah has various meanings but can also be found on headstones in cemeteries and on other memorials as “until we meet again.”

Usually found on antique design keepsake jewellery, Mizpah is a Hebrew word that means 'watchtower' and is loosely interpreted as 'May God watch over you. ... Mizpah jewellery is still worn as a token of love or friendship and became popular during the Victorian era with an emotive story behind it.

Another meaning to Stan's first one. :geek:
