Bits of Boats Would Make Interesting Backyard Follies

By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft

At a boatyard in Old Mystic, CT that I stumbled upon purely by serendipity, I found not only interesting wooden boats but also interesting wooden structures, some made out of bits of boats (see previous posts). 

Wouldn't one of these be cool in your backyard?

What is it? Take a guess in the comments section!

This is the pilot house of a former ferry named the Anne.

The insides of another pilot house -- guarded by an owl.

Cute isn't it? But what's it for?

Here's another relic of the boatyard, though it's mostly metal.

Here it is, like an owl, guarding two wooden hulls.

How about you? Any serendipitous discoveries in your neck of the woods? Comment below!
