Inside the printing press.




The cooper at work.


And some of his creations. Okay, I'm sure they weren't all made by the same guy, but they're not made out of foam.


The fishing schooner L.A. Dunton, one of four National Historic Landmarks at the seaport. The pier next to her is actually covered with crushed seashells.


The upper deck actually feels a bit more spacious than the Joseph Conrad's.


A dozen men lived, slept, cooked, and ate here. Cozy!


If you were a millionaire in the early 1900s, you had to have a yacht. Preferably a steam yacht, and beautiful one at that. Enter the Cangarda, the only surviving American steam yacht. My big regret was not being able to go onboard her.


Look at those hull lines and that mahogany deckhouse. Beautiful!


Even the lifeboats and the funnel have fine lines.
