Here’s another good one:
My dad went to sea with the Gloucester Commercial Fishing Fleet at the tender age of 9. It was a wooden fishing schooner with sails and was called the “SADIE NOONAN”. Nearly forty years later, in the sixties, Dad took us to the seafaring Village in Mystic, CT. THERE on the wall of the Ship’s Chandler’s Store was the ACTUAL WHEEL OF THE SADIE NOONAN!!! My dad was so moved, he started to get all teary eyed right there in the museum.
We were, of course, in AWE of our daddy!
