Chowan LIFE . — "•—r-—" :—;—! ' ' ■ ' ”—~ Artist Edward Williams Jr. holds his sketch of the now departed tugboard, the Maryland Artist says he'll miss sketching old tugboat removed from bay BY JEB CAUDILL Publisher The half-submerged tugboat in Edenton Bay catches the eye of many artists. Local galler ies have the image captured in an array of mediums: oils, wa ter colors, photographs, pen . and-ink. The old tug has now been removed from the bay, and the haunting image of the boat will be seen only on canvases and in prints. “It’s a piece that every artist would enjoy, just because you wonder what’s going on with it-its history,” local artist Ed ward Williams Jr. said. “It makes a really good study.” Since 1971 when the tug, called the Maryland, foun dered and sank in high water and rough waves, it has resided in Edenton Bay. In the ensu ing years, the boat became rusted and gradually deterio rated to a sorry condition. And to many, it was an eyesore and blight to the bay. But to artists, the image of the old tugboat remains pow erful. Williams captured the tug boat in a pen-and-ink render ing in 1998. “I just liked the way it looked,” he said. “It’s just one of the sights in Edenton that everybody goes by and looks at and wonders why it’s there. It just drew my eye to it.” Williams said the boat is unique, and that he’ll miss it. “You don’t see something like it everyday,” He said. “I know some people don’t’like it, but I myself was drawn to it. Not only artists will miss it, but people traveling through expect to see it.” Williams drew the boat while living in Windsor. “I had no idea they were go ing to move the boat when I See TUGBOAT Page 7-B % % f 0 lO-tf White Oak Elementary School's Annual OAKFEST November 13th from 10'2 0 Gome on out for> /\uction, Qame^ 1—oo 'Vendor?, Gfto-r-Ljtel lj ng Glides', 'sfc*T»d fGale and r G>il®nt d, Cdr>, , j—|o'r>s'e nucki ft more! * 1 COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS OFFERED BY CHOWAN HOSPITAL www.chowan.uhseast.com ^ s health Menopause Tuesday, November 16 • 12 noon to 1 p.m. Chowan Hospital Classroom Dr. Joyce Noriega from the Eastern Carolina Women’s will present the free program Lunch and educational handouts provided. “I have a friend who has a problem” It is estimated that 13 million Americans, both men and women, suffer from urinary Incontinence.
