Non-random . . . because well . . . they’re not.
Sabine, for example, I’d never seen before taking these.
. . here escorting in Zim Texas.
Ditto Ironhead, which has to be one of my favorite names.
I don’t know much else about this boat.
And this one, Thornton Bros . . . this may be the last photo I post of her intact, as this Matton boat mutely awaits the reaper.
Oh the stories others could tell of her. Here and here are previous photos of this fine old boat.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
