Thanks for this latest memory Dave - I remember Deal Marine Craft well, having moved into nearby Golden Street in 1954. I often passed by to the sound of saws and hammers and the scent of varnish. I saw a finished boat going up Brewer or Ferrier Street, Brewer probably from what you say here. You’re right, they were good days sun or rain, calm or storm which changed and finally disappeared almost before we knew it had happened…

Yes it was Coppin St. that was used to pull the boats up and down William, thanks for your comment🤟
