JOHN'S PHOTOS FOR THE WEEK

This week for my photos, my son recently took a trip to Baltimore and went aboard the museum ship Coast Guard Cutter Taney. I am posting some of the photos he took this week of the retired cutter.

I am always looking for photos of old Stoneham (Mass) apparatus, incidents or members for my personal collection if anyone can help. A digital scan is perfectly fine, I don't need an original as long as the scan is big enough to print out. I also can scan photos, slides and negatives and then give them back to you if that is easier. CLICK FOR EMAIL.





Photos taken by my son of the museum ship USCGC Taney in Baltimore.
