Ocean Born Mary Portrait Aimed After Two Century Wait

HENNIKER New Hampshire AP legend Ocean Born Mary famed as a tall red haired green eyed Irish beauty may finally have a portrait. Louis Maurice Aud Roy of East Weymouth Mass plans a Halloween night séance to guide a portrait by a traveling medium. Roy says the ghost keeps him safe as he tends the old Georgian mansion now a landmark on the New Hampshire map. He notes his late mother saw Mary three times and he hopes to reach age 100 while living in the house she loved. Mary was born at sea in 1720 during a pirate raid near Boston Harbor and remains a benign spirit to the man who seeks her image.
