Bristol memoirs of waterlogged ships and stubborn wheels
A Bristol narrator recalls hospital aid after a tumble with a severe man’s care and patience. He describes the Es telle ship project by the Herreshoff firm, Cuban intrigue, and a courthouse seizure. The tale includes local industry growth, wind-swept lanes, and a doorway misfit for a large lathe in a busy workshop.
