Scope and Content

Guy L. McCracken - Photocopy of his picture that appeared in the July 1937 issue of the National Geographic Magazine. The tag under the picture states: His sailing days are over, but he can't forget the sea. Even the sails of this model windjammer are made of wood, carved and plied into place with infinite care. On the deck are tiny figures of men, painstakingly whittled. The maker of the model lives at Sturgeon Bay, a yachting center, whence a canal cuts across Door Peninsula to Lake Michigan. Physical Characteristics: 1 sheet, 8 1/2" x 11" in 1 folder
