The Chief

HAND MADE ORIGINAL LIGHTHOUSES


Learn of one of the many talents of

Vinnie known as "The Chief"

Lighthouse Line

Boy ... What a surprise I got when I learned of Vinnie's secrect talent!! He has been like a permanent fixture and a long time member at the Taunton Yacht Club. His work- manship is outstanding when it comes to needing anything built out of wood. He is responsible for the clubs new ramps, ladders along with a few other items. All Vinnie needs to do is hear a whisper of "I wish we could build ..." and the next thing you know ... here comes Vinnie, trotting in with it, ready to be used. ...

Lighthouse With Beacon

At my home I have a circular driveway with a grass area in the middle. I mentioned to Vinnie that I was planning on purchasing a lighthouse to place in that grass area.

That is when I learned of his secret talent. It seems that his hobby is building lighthouses .. Not just any little lighthouse!!! I couldn't picture what he was describing to me. So, after the clubs meeting, I took a ride over to see for myself. What a delightful surprise ..

These lighthouses he builds are 4' .. 5' .. 6' .. tall and are "replicas" of the original lighthouses. He has built them upon requests from as far as Florida. You can't imagine the quaility and details that goes into each of them, resembling the specific lighthouse.

I have asked him if he would mind gathering together some photographs to hang up for visitors entering this room to enjoy, along with a little more detail of how long it takes him to build them as well as the costs of them. Although they were a little more esquisite than what I had in mind, they certainly would present a conversational item and an elegant display on anyones lawn.
