One of those times, we met people in the country store who remembered October, l913, when the "George W. Wells" went down off Ocracoke in a hurricane. What a delight it was to swap tales with those men! My great-uncle was the Captain of the Wells, a six-masted sailing ship out of New England ports, and one of the largest ships in the Ghost Fleet.<br />(My name is Verna, and I'd love to hear more tales!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
