current owner to Creighton Palmer, a boat builder and the owner of Palmer’s Marine Railway. Teeling drove from Annapolis to St. Patrick’s Creek near Abell, MD, to meet him. He showed Palmer a photo of the boat, and “ever so slowly, a smile crept over his face.” Teeling left the builder with a folder of photos and later got in touch with the original owner’s family. On a spectacular mid-August morning, Teeling planned a special reunion. He invited Palmer, the original owner’s son Dick Hutson, his son Mike, and grandson Jared out for a spin out of South Annapolis Yacht Centre (formerly Sarles) on Spa Creek. Teeling, who found the boat builder to be a mild-mannered, humble man, guessed that Palmer did not leave his quiet Southern Maryland creek often (his niece confirmed that later). “He was awestruck at all the big boats,” said Teeling, who was thrilled to have had the chance to take Easy Bell and her living history for a boat ride on a pretty day. ~M.W.
