Old Schooner Eddie B Blount Burns After Long Life
The Eddie B. Blount, a coastwise schooner over 50 years old, burned in a day long fire at Poppasquash Boatyard. Once a workhorse carrying blocks or lumber, she later served as a powered fishing boat. World War II decks housed quahogs and oysters as part of the Blount fleet. Hurricane Carol ended her days when raised on the stone dock, now reduced to ribs and planks in a funeral-like demolition.
