Deja Views

from our August, 2010 issue

This beautiful photograph documents Norm Williamson, pictured at the stern, testing his newly constructed MOTH class sailboat in the water for the first time. The time is late 1930s. The Kew Beach boathouse was still intact and in its original position, as is the Leuty Life Guard Station. Is that a chimney on ole Leuty? This photo is courtesy of Velma Williamson, who spent 59 happy years with Norm. Thank you Velma!
