If you are interested in nautical art or artifact this gallery is amazing. SkipJack was totally burned down last year in a devastating blaze, and are now in the process of the arduous work of rebuilding, restocking and recreating their gallery in a new location. If you are anywhere in driving distance of Portsmouth this is one of the places you will need to see. If you are not, you can shop from the website. There is also an art gallery, for the nauticaly inclined art lover as well as some very pretty jewelry. Unfortunately my media card was filled so I could not get picutres of the painting gallery.. Mike was smitten with a knife with a scrimshaw inspired handle and sterling hardware. Maybe he will get one for his birthday? It was a good thing we saved our money (see previous post) or it would have been a long cold night in Delaware!
Elizabeth Cartier, proprietor of Starboards will fill you in on other sights to see, get you some coffee, hot or iced, and a snack and set you upon a walking tour of Olde Towne Portsmouth.
Click on the pictures to enlarge and get an idea of the beatuiful morning light that we were lucky to enjoy whilst whiling away the day, antiquing and bemusing ourselves on the High Street.
