Brick Ship Tribute to Naval Craft at World's Fair
A nostalgic scan of Kate Field's Washington observations recounts Captain Richard Mead's brick and cement ship project for the World's Fair. Despite early mockery, private manufacturers aided fittings while a naval outfitter warned of weak bolts before a storm. The piece pivots to Per kins and Bailey era politics and real estate prices in New York with assorted ads and quotes interwoven.
