Great pic and great history.
Please tell us more.
It is very humbling to stand and fish the same shores as our ancestors.
Thanks Nebe.

Thats all I have that i think would interest anyone here-
oh.. this might interest some- My grandfather designed the submarine nets that closed up narragansett bay in wwII.. He was the production manager at a quarry in Mass and invented a giant wire saw to cut granite slabs out of the cliffs.. because of this, the quarry had wire making abilities and won the contract to design/build the nets.
The nets were at bend boat basin in portsmouth for a long long time laying in a huge pile and I think they still may be there-
