Lobster Tales

From the Vineyard Gazette editions of September, 1983:

John T. Hughes joined a distinguished team of ocean scientists from around the world for a trip to the once-closed nation of China. His passport was his career here on the Island, as a leading biologist studying Homarus americanus — the American lobster. His expertise is unequalled and often sought out by those interested in the raising of lobsters. Mr. Hughes built and has managed the state lobster hatchery in Oak Bluffs since its inception in 1949.

 

 

 

Tuesday Chronicle: In Gala Attire

From Vineyard Gazette editions of June, 1909:

There was quite a ripple in quiet Edgartown on Saturday when the Tea Room on Davis Lane was opened, and one realizes at once, that it is a long-felt want in our summer life. The Tea Room, in connection with Mrs. Leonard’s Studio at the Arts and Crafts Cottage, was in gala attire, being a bower of daisies which were most kindly contributed by some of the children of the neighborhood; even they entered fully into the spirit of the occasion and did their noble best to beautify the place.
