One maritime
tradition of this town is the remembering of the fathers and sons lost
to the sea in previous years. Here, families are presenting wreaths
aboard the T.K. Pierce. The wreaths were then taken to sea and set
afloat in remembrance. (8/17/03) |
The town's
memorial to those fishermen and sailors lost at sea. It was quite
