This weekend, a lot of us will be visiting relatives. But the visits will be quiet ones.
We left at six in the morning, like pioneers from the asphalt three-deckers of Worcester to the lakes and forests and hills in Maine. There was no Route 495, there wasn’t even the Eisenhower Interstate system, so the drive took all day. My brother and I were loaded into the backseat of the Country Squire station wagon, complete with metal faux-wood side panels, with our grandmother in between us to keep the peace during the seven hour drive for Memorial Day. I got to hold the geraniums.

Before 911, before police radios and walkie-talkies, there were blue light bulbs over Main Street, Vineyard Haven. When a call for help came in, the telephone company switched on the light to signal the Tisbury police, like a Vineyard Haven Bat-Signal.

It s been nearly 40 years since the US got rid of its last seaplane, an aircraft long seen as outdated.
Growing attention on the Indo-Pacific and on China, which is developing its own seaplane, have revived discussion about the utility of amphibious aircraft.
March marked the 38th anniversary of the retirement of the last US military seaplane. That aircraft, an HU-16E Albatross flown by the Coast Guard, left service 16 years after the Navy retired its last seaplane.
