Mending fishing nets on the wharf at Gloucester Massachusetts – old postcard

A French woman – a seller of fish in Boulogne

But the postmark, stamp, and message are Swedish.

This card is rather puzzling. Written in June 1953 and posted from Ohio. The message seems totally unrelated to the card.
But I like the image on the card.

Phillips Brooks House, Class of 1881, Harvard College. Cambridge Mass.
This postcard was franked Sep 13 1910 Wilkinsburg Pa 1910 and addressed to a woman in Ohio

Oh if only this card could speak – instead I’ll have to think up the story it might tell.

Where is this postcard from?

Royal Kaanapali Golf Course – First Green
I wonder if my mother ever played this course. She lived in Wailuku Maui on the other side of the island from Kaanapali. The more modest Maui Country Club was closer and less spectacular.
Sankaty Head on Nantucket Island Massachusetts
There was no message on this card but the printing style is old – ear;ly 20th century? I visited this spot many summers in the early 1950’s. A favorite. One summer when I was staying in Siasconset I met a young and lonely coastguardsman who liked to hook rugs – a passion we shared on that beautiful bluff. Sounds like the beginning of a story set in 1850, not 1950.
