Rhode Island + One Random

On the back this one says "Gulls and Watch Hill Light".

On the back it says, "A Moving Lighthouse: Block Island's Southeast Light being moved out of danger from the edge of Mohegan Bluffs, 245 feet inland in August of 1993. This light has been in operation since 1875 and is 200 feet above the sea. Shore erosion caused the move".

This one is kind of depressing. On the back it says "The 252-ft Joy Line Steam LARCHMONT plying between Providence, R.I. and New York City on Feb. 11, 1907, collided with the schooner HARRY P. KNOWLTON 3 1.4 miles SSE of Watch Hill Light. At three degrees above zero, over 150 persons died in the tragedy. 75 frozen bodies came ashore on Black Island. Painting by Cap'n Ellery F. Thompson".

We went on one of the fishing charters from the Frances Fleet, which is where I got this. On the back it says, "The Lady Frances is one of the Frances fleet vessels and sails from the Port of Galilee located in Narragansett, RI. The Frances Fleet offers year round deep sea fishing, as well as seasonal Whale Watching. We are also available for private charters for all occasions. Catch a good time! Call us at (401) 783-4988 or visit us at FrancesFleet.com"

This one isn't from Rhode Island.. it's another from the vintage reprint series that Ocean State Job Lot did. This one has the New York State Theodore Roosevelt Memorial, Central Park West, New York, NY, C. 1925.

Rhode Island

These are from my trip to Rhode Island this past summer.

I love postcards like this! On the back it says "Greetings from Rhode Island. Nickname: Little Rhody. Area in Square Miles: 1,248. Entered the Union: May 29, 1790". It's worth it to look at this postcard large!


I absolutely love this one too. I bought this at the Fantastic Umbrella Factory. On the back it says "Greetings from, Charlestown, Rhode Island".


This is a pretty simple postcard, but I still like it. On the back it just says "Greetings from Charlestown, Rhode Island".


I love this one! It's worth it to look at the bigger version of this one too. It says, "Greetings from Southern New England. Southern New England is a good place to vacation and live, work, and play". I bought a few extra of this one to use for postcrossing :)


I thought this one was really funny. I saw it at a little convenience store. The back says, "Greetings from New England. Dear _____ (so you can fill in a name). I haven't written because (then you check I or We)..." Then there are a number of options to check like: Ran out of money gambling at Foxwoods, Got bombed on iced tea in Westerly, Had an affair with a dolphin in Mystic, Been in jail in Niantic, Been cruising off Block Island, Had a meaningful relationship at Misquamicut Beach, having a great time (glad you're not here), The picture I wanted to send is not on the card, trapped a beach bunny at Watch Hill, Been chasing girls in Boston, Been chasing boys in Providence, fell in love in New London, tried to hitch a ride on Atlantic Ave, being held captive in Norwich, been skinny dipping on Moonstone Beach, been looking for the beef in Narragansett, and went bankrupt at Mohegan Sun.
I would have scanned it in rather than type it out, but the scanner was not cooperating so I gave up!
