First Splash(?) Italy 1938

First Splash(?) Italy 1938

Posted by John Brantuk on May 2nd 2014

These photos were made from already developed negatives found in a thrift store in Virginia in 2013.

The photos appear to be taken in and around Naples, Italy in the Spring of 1938.

About 400 negatives were found, but I thought these two would likely resonate with our Glen-L boatbuilder family.

And no, I don't believe that the boat is a Glen-L design, since Glen-L began in 1953. But one of the men in the photos does seem to closely resemble one of our current boatbuilders....

Won't it be great when 76 years from now someone runs across photos of you launching the boat you built yourself?!
