the season


A cool north wind blowing on the Elizabeth River.  Boats, after a winter down south, are making their way back home.


At Waterside Marina there was a boat named "Justice."  Double planked mahogany over pine.


Designed by John H. Wells, built in 1930 by Consolidated Shipbuilding.


Length of 75' 6", beam 13' and a draft of 4', displacement 31 tons.


Cruising speed 25 knots, max speed 33 knots.  I bet she takes her time heading north.
