A beautiful picture,Fred . any more info on the torpedoing?
It’s a very good history lesson here…very dangerous times in those days to be out on the water run into subs and U-boats… His name A. Piatt Andrew (Andrews Bridge) will always be there on RT-128 bridge we used to go out there to catch Pigeons before they closed allot of it off on foot – if seen they would move you along also! Before this it was the cut bridge up 133 Essex.
My grandfather also Captained it, along with other schooners according to his obituary.He was Captain John.J Silveira originally of Calheta de Nesquim, Pico Azores.
