Westport is filled with peace.
Or at least, with peace poles.
The tall, slender, white objects — with messages like “May Peace Prevail,” in English and other languages — can be found in the Staples High School courtyard, at the Y and Earthplace, and in front of Town Hall and Saugatuck Elementary School.
None of those were the peace poles depicted in last week’s Photo Challenge, though.
That one can be found on private property: Sherman’s Way, the small road on Compo Road South. It was placed there by the Sherman family. (Click here to see.)
Suzanne Sherman Propp proudly (and a bit sheepishly) was the first person to correctly identify the site last week. Andrew Colabella was the only other reader with the correct answer.
That’s alright. Don’t worry. May peace be with you — wherever you are.
As I went fishing for this week’s Photo Challenge, I found the Westport Striped Bass Club.

Peace out.

ER Strait Marina?
Total guess, but I agree with Pat. E.R. Strait Marina seems like the right answer.
Westport VFW back lot launch. The VFW is currently raising money as well as exploring grants to dredge the marina area and install new docks!!!
These docks are an important source of income to the VFW and increase more options to dock a boat in Westport!
The dredging will also increase more parking spaces for boats!

VFW
Andy and Jeff are correct. I would love to see that “marina” dredged, I just hope that it’s not part of positioning for a sale of the property.
Yes — as Andrew, Jeff and Dave note, this is behind the VFW, on the Saugatuck River.
VFW MARINA!
