I had the opportunity to board and walk the decks many years ago while visiting Mystic. I believe it was in 1970 and again in 1986. I had no idea that the ship would ever leave Mystic Harbor again. I had even wondered how it faired Hurricane Sandy. <br />Are there details about its intended itinerary? <br /> MM in northern Minnesota.Marshall Montheinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556034524339788728.post-85153869519940291112013-12-13T14:10:03.655-05:002013-12-13T14:10:03.655-05:00Who is the designer of the power cat built by

Briefly I thought they might be of Ireland (where we still cut and burn turf albeit mostly by machine, it still has to be turned and bagged by hand.) Evocative and nostalgic I agree, but there is also a welcome revival of traditional ways, due to recession necessitating thrift, but also general disillusionment with commercial lifestyles and desire to simplify. Thank you for posting these pictures they’ve made my evening.

I am reminded of a number of things when I look at them. I am reminded of old photographs of Chippewa Indians harvesting rice in their canoes. I am reminded of the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay which is still partly inhabited by salt marshes and in the days of horse drawn transport was a source of hay for the horses of San Francisco. Flat bottomed scows would sail over at high tide and set down on the mud at low tide to be loaded with hay. Afloat again with the next high tide they would return to San Francisco. <br />And I am reminded of my mother's ancestral home in Bavaria which I recently visited. When I was a child, people were still cutting peat in a bog adjacent to the home. We visited just recently and the peat bog is overgrown with firs and is now a nature preserve. Nobody misses the old life style and the hard labor. Likewise, the descendents of the people in Emerson's photos no longer have to toil in the marshes and are probably setting foot in boats for recreation only. Still, we cannot help but feel nostalgic for a lifestyle that was closer to the earth and the knowledge of the land that has been lost.Wolfgang Brinckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314364206955412017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556034524339788728.post-38204962239707385572013-08-07T15:53:08.902-04:002013-08-07T15:53:08.902-04:00Delighted to see this.
