Martin Ceely, a Nantucket native and descendant of a whaling captain, was commissioned to do a partial restoration of this antique whaling ship model. Dirck built the shipping crate for it so we took the opportunity to take some photographs of Martin making final adjustments to the model before it was crated.
I followed deer trails and tracks through a section of dunes last week when the fog was thick. I was careful not to walk on the fragile dunes as I can’t seem to do it as carefully as the deer.
The Army Corp of Engineers is sweeping Tom Nevers and the South Shore for unexploded ordinance. Back in the 40′s part of Nantucket was used as a practice range for bombs and rockets. They now have the technology to search for them using a specially equipped helicopter. Dirck and I shot a few quick ones of the helicopter in action. They are flying VERY low.
