Wooden Boatworks

摘要

Visiting Wooden Boatworks' west railway shed at Hanff 's Boat Yard at Greenport on New York's Long Island is like a walk through time. The building leading to it is filled with the nameboards of yachts long gone. Yacht ensigns with fading stripes are suspended between hawsers and chains, revealing Greenport's shipyard heritage. A tangle of rusty blocks and augers dangles from the rafters. Advertisements with four-digit phone numbers still hang, untouched, on the same 50-year-old nails. Modern portraits of yachts in color are interspersed in the mix. They look vibrant, and shock the visitor back to the present.
