Classic Trawlers
July 2010
Lady Phyllis and Morgan Grace – two well kept black steel trawlers with a signature yellow trim. For many years these two boats have been a familiar sight at the docks of Garland Fulcher Seafood on the Oriental harbor. Over the winter the boats were sold – but they didn’t go far – moving just across the harbor to Point Pride Seafood. The boats sometimes fish the Pamlico Sound but often travel hundreds of miles in search of their catch.
This months Laura drawing captures the boats at their old berths – the place Oriental residents and visitors saw them docked for many a year…
| Laura Turgeon and her husband Gil Fontes live in Oriental. When they are not out looking at boats Laura and Gil are often seen with drawing instruments or paint brushes in hand. More of Laura's work can be found at her site LauraTurgeon.com. |
