the gentleman who owns all this, on oyster pond river in chatham, reminds me of Quint, the Robert Shaw character in "Jaws".... although he's a lot nicer and instead of shark jaws he has shark and swordfish tails nailed up all over the back sides of these buildings... when I introduced myself last summer - I had stumbled on his place quite by accident - he gave me his card (yes, he actually had one) and said I could come down any time to take photos... the small building on the left has a plaque above the door that reads, "oyster river pirate co." and last summer he was flying the jolly roger below the american flag on the rather makeshift pole... of course, across the river reside a lot of chatham 'trophy' homes, very expensive properties, mind you...
