Seems like a lot of the folks inland like maritime pictures.

I just found these I took sometime ago at the Mystic Seaport. Some I took, some others took. One of my favorite places. It's done up much as it would have been way back in the whaling days of old. Lots of old timers working on the old wooden boats that get donated to them. They do it all, replace floor timbers, ribs, planking, make up new wooden block and tackle for the rigging, crows nest, mast, you name, you can see it being done there. These are a few boats on display there. I have a lot of pictures from here showing how it was back then.

The kids like to visit the port when we get the chance my wife's relatives For many years they owned and ran the Seafarers Inn and Gift Shop on Main Street.

Mystic was kind of our stomping grounds as teenagers. Most of us worked in the shipyards summers. Now with the Casinos, the entire area is growing in leaps and bounds. Even Noak is getting more crowded. Abbots Lobster Pound is a good place to eat also. I grew up in Groton but always like Mystic. Where is home now surfcutter?

the hysterical society clinched the deal. Good home for it, but one would think, New Bedford would have kept it. I have pictures of the inside here also.

I go up to Brockton Cycle from time to time. I know where you mean at the cove. Do you remember when it ran by Packers Tar Soap at the sharp curve in town? There were a lot of boat yards in that area. I do some detecting down that way in the fall at Scarbrough Beach in RI.

its like beng absorbed into a old Christmas card. Snow, foot prints, and it sends home on board ship what a hard life it most have been. Damp, cold, windy, every one there really bundled up with head down. It becoems more than just a metal picture then. Locals go there after the summer season is over.
