These are the postcards I've gotten the past couple years in Rhode Island, on vacation with Eric & his family.
This is one of my favorite postcards. On the back it says: "Hope: The Rhode Island State Motto. Whispy clouds drift through a powder blue sky, while the setting sun casts a copper glow on the bow of this boat, moored at Bowen's Wharf. Taken during September, this image depicts one of the last days of summer in Newport".
The back of this one says: "The Narragansett Towers: Still standing since 1886. One of America's best known summer vacation destinations, Narragansett is located in Rhode Island's South County. The elegant towers (formerly part of the Narragansett Pier Casino) have withstood hurricanes and fires throughout the years, faithfully remaining Narragansett's strongest link to the past for nearly a century".
The back of this ones states: "The selected lights of Rhode Island: Dutch Island 1857, Beavertail 1856, Point Judith 1857, Block Island Southeast 1875, Block Island North 1867, Conanicut Island 1886, Plum Beach 1899, Rose Island 1870, Newport Harbor 1865, Castle Hill 1890".
On the back it says: "Lobsters are the most valuable seafood species caught by New England commercial fisherman".
On the back it says: "U.S. Coast Guard Academy Cadets laying aloft to furl sail aboard their 295-foot training Bark, Eagle. During summer cruises from the Academy in New London, Conn, cadets learn seamanship aboard the Eagle to prepare them for their career as future Coast Guard officers".
This one isn't officially a Rhode Island postcard, but I bought it on the way back to CT, so I'm putting it in this category. On the back it says: "A view of Latimer Reef Lighthouse and fishing dragger in a painting by Cap'n Ellery F. Thompson of Mystic, Connecticut".
The back of this one says: "A sea gull in the setting sun along the scenic New England coastline".
When I scanned this one, the color got drained a bit :( I couldn't really fix it without making it look rediculous. On the back it says: "Greetings from Charlestown, Quonochontaug and Weekapaug, Rhode Island".
I actually had lunch & dinner right by here. It's fun watching the ferries coming & going! On the back it says: "Jerusalem fishing village is part of Narragansett and is directly opposite Galilee Fishing Village. The MV Carol Jean is seen leaving in the Port of Galilee for Block Island and will pass through the Galilee Breachway".
