Araminta

 

That's Araminta, 33' ketch. Designed by L. Francis Herreshoff, built in 1948 at the Hodgdon yard in E. Boothbay Maine.

F600's We Have Known.

We have posted this unit before, and likely will again, because we so admire the depth and rigor of is truckness. Here's an older F600 radicalized by the Pacheco Bros. in Trementina, New Mexico. And another older F600 in Brooklin, Maine. Then, this beautiful F600 stakebed in Sedgwick, Maine.

 

c. 2019 Toyota Tacoma Wheelbarrow. Blue Hill, Maine.

 

We posted another Tacoma wheelbarrow of this era from Cambridge, Massachusetts. We admire wheelbarrows, as in modest, useful trucks. Here's a c. 1988 Toyota wheebarrow. And a pretty basic Toyota Hilux from Marfa.

c.1982 Mercedes-Benz 300TD wagon. Banff, Alberta.

 

From Alex Emond:  "Banff car. It could use some love, but talk about good bones. If this were restored, you'd have functional road warrior.  Safe and solid. Ja!"

AL: we caught a Mercedes Benz TD wagon in Harvard Square. Another TD here in Brooklin, Maine. And a TD for sale on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Mass. a while back. And then there was this vegetarian Mercedes Benz 300CD coupe, in Cambridge.

1969 Chevrolet Nova. Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

We admire this plainjane edition of the Nova. Here's an unplain 1967 Nova that we misread as a 1970. And a 1972 Nova SS we caught in Belfast, Maine.

c.1969 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia. Toronto, Ontario.

 

Eva H.D. photo.  Karmann with backpack.  Have you seen Eva's latest film, How to Shoot a Ghost? It was a selection at the 2025 Venice Biennale and is available on Criterion.  We posted a Karmann-Ghia convertible from Blue Hill, Maine this past summer.

Mazurka

 

80ft Trumpy yacht, hauled at Brooklin Boatyard fro some upkeep. And no, Trumpy is not an adjective.
