Mill Pond…Gloria! Love that Boat….
Quite a bit of history behind Gloria….one of Westport’s tales to remember.
Wonderful. The light, the setting and Gloria’s wonderful back story. Thanks!
Wild color edit i love it
Love “The Gloria”! Her story was featured in The Naples Daily News a few years ago!
wow, amazing color.
Dan, I can no longer see your pictures. You must be using a different format.
Nope. Must be an issue with your browser.
What a glorious view!!! (pun intended)
Beautiful image..Who is Gloria?
“Gloria” is an oyster boat, belonging to the late oysterman Alan Sterling. It’s adrift now in Gray’s Creek, between Longshore and the Compo Beach marina. Here’s part of the back story: https://06880danwoog.com/2015/01/16/gloria-as-youve-never-heard-it-before/
Good one!
