Giant film about her, has been to Gloucester and talked with the schooner authorities there, Joe Garland, Gordon Thomas and Dana Storey. I knew Rick's father John years ago when he was here. His grandfather came over from the Cape Verde Islands in the schooner Valkyrie , a whaler and later packet, built originally for the Gloucester fishing fleet. I'm connected with a project to build a replica of the last whaler to bring a load of oil into Nantucket, in 1870, the schooner Eunice H. Adams. She was built as a Nantucket-to-Baltimore packet in 1845. After the Civil War, railroads were extended through so she was converted and made four trips from here whaling. Last two she was rigged as a half brig . She whaled out of Edgartown (Martha's Vineyard) until just after 1890, so she had a good long working life. I don't know how this project will fare. They found the Unitarian Church (town clock tower) built in 1809 , in hard shape. Work began last fall and will take $500,000 to put it back in shape-this must come first. Time flies and I am well into my 54th year living here. I was 21 when I came here from Gloucester fishing. Don 't know where it has gone . I heard about long winters here but I've never seen one , all are much too short.

A Great Lady Remembered Being deeply sympathetic to the work you are leading in restoring the wonderful old ships, I wish to have the small part in the work I am able to afford. I have long been under the spell of Alan Villiers, and have rambled over our two beautiful West Coast restorations, the Scotch-built Star ofIndia in San Diego and the Balclutha in San Francisco. I have detail photographed the latter, especially the construction of the hull . In my authentic detail model work I am trying to preserve for future generations, the magnificent ocean liners at the peak of their glory , as you will see in the enclosed
