Aphrodite at the Brooklin Boatyard
Eric Blake's photo of Aphrodite at the Brooklin Boatyard. I remember watching her puffing into Center Harbor some years back, before her restoration. The skipper gunned her in, puffing smoke, on was sounded like the last gasp of her engine, and probably was. She was a rambling wreck, with great bones. She was built for Jock Whitney in 1937 for fast stylish commuting from home, on the North Shore of L.I., to Wall Street. Quicker than taking L.I.R.R. and the subway.
