2024 Independence Day Edition
Welcome to the 2024 Independence Day Edition of Mike's Maritime Memorabilia! Over the last twenty years we have posted more than 2,400 vintage photos for all to enjoy and our Independence Day Edition includes 25 exceptional photographs of party fishing boats and the men behind them dating from 1919 through 2023. The photo captions illustrate some of the rich and interesting history that surrounds them and simply put, this is our fishing heritage – enjoy and celebrate it as we also commemorate our Day of Deliverance with solemn acts of devotion to God, parades, picnics, sports, music, festivities and fireworks from this time forward forever more. Special thanks go to Keith Apman, John Bogan Jr., Rich Hamel, Richie Mansfield, Andrew Nazzaruolo, Jamie Quaresimo, Sam Rescigno, Joan Richards, Skip Tonks and Bob Ziegler Jr. for generously contributing some of the fine photographs and background information for our 2024 Independence Day Edition. May God Bless America!
