Moments: Annisquam Fish Centennial

Since 1920, the Annisquam Fish, a one-design catboat, has been built in a boatyard on Ferry Street, first by Nick Montgomery and his family, and now by Jeff King and his. There were several hundred of these 15-foot wooden boats built in the last century, and Jeff is still building them out of wood and caring for the fleet. Brightly painted, they make quite a sight, lined up on the trawl line at the AYC or playing around in the bay or the Jones River.

Moments

The physical world is a place of ever-changing wonder. I love observing, and occasionally capturing a moment in time. I do this for my own pleasure, but Nichole S. has been kind to share some of my photos on GMG from time to time. Now Joey has given me the opportunity to post on my own, and I hope you will find some pleasure in these moments. Paul Horovitz
