A friend just e-mailed me about this tragic fire.

There were a number of wooden beauties, including C. Raymond Hunt's unusual racer/cruiser Huntress and a number of Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 25s stored in that building. The little yard also maintained the moorings and guest moorings for this almost perfect little harbor.

I hope not all the boats were lost.

Looks like two boats were destroyed
