My folks had a cottage south of Boston in the town of North Weymouth when I was a kid over fifty years ago. You can't see our rocky neighborhood beach in the "Almost through the gut and on the way to Quincy" photo, but it is about a half mile away to the left of that crane shown in the distance at the former Bethlehem Ship Yard. These tankers came in about a half dozen times each summer, always at high tide. We could see them coming through Hull Gut in the distance and would wait with great anticipation just to be able to jump/swim through the half dozen, one foot waves produced by the tanker as it passed us. My folks bought the cottage in 1945 for $1,000. Two owners later it was sold in 2004 for $250K.
