Re: Oyster Sloop Christeen (1883)

I'm curious where she was back in the late 1970's as she looks a lot like a boat I remember seeing in sad shape in Belford NJ back then. (I also saw your post on the WBF, thanks :D).

I'll see what I can find out.

The sloop I remember was painted all white at the time (with significant rust streaking). I seem to remember some sort of sign on her noting her age. Belford is a gritty little fishing community on a creek, so not some place you just 'happen to stop by' in a boat.

I haven't been able to find anything out. But I will post any info I find.
