Maritime lest CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 PAUL GAUVIN PHOTO PATHLOGICAL - A couple stroll down a new path carved out ot Aselton Park at South and Ocean Streets connecting to the waterfront during Sunday's Maritime Days. It appears to be a logical extension of the Walkway to the Sea. PAUL GAUVIN PHOTO HOT PURSUIT - Interpreter Tim Turner of Plimoth Plantation shows onlookers how early Wampanoags crafted their boats - by burning an opening in a log, a practice or boat phonetically called "mashoong." Leaks in the rough dugouts were patched with heated pine oil. for kids, attendance at this year'sevent couldbecompared more to a fire district annual meetingthan aRollingStones concert. Fishing Capt. Danny Dwyer, a salty, stocky,easy-going wa- terfront fixture, the one with the frizzled peak on his cap, sat on a bulkhead herding a stable of horseshoe crabs he wasracing, musingthat atten- dance wasdownfrom lastyear, probably because there wasn't enough waterfrontparking,for one reason. But the ubiquitous Cynthia Cole, director of Main Street's Business Improvement Dis- trict and devout advocate for the Maritime Museum, and who,ifHyannisever minted its own money, would surely have her likenesson the$20 bill,said there wasmore competitionfor peoples' attention this year. "There was the Figawi Ball last night and River Day in Marstons Mills - we've never been on the same day before," shesaid.There wasalsoachar- ity walk going on. It was also an uncomfortably windy day and it alsowasthe first time an admission fee was charged. Cathrine Macort , educa- tor/administrator of the Mari- time Museum, said the event grossed $2,000, representing 400paid admissionsand about 150 children who were admit- ted free. She said she was pleased with the turnout and that "welearn somethingnew every year to make it better." Nonetheless,there was edu- cational value for those who did attend. For example, one couldlearn that theHorseshoe Crab isn't a crab at allhaving, instead, family ties with scor- pions, ticks and land spiders; and,that it wasnamedbecause of its resemblance to a horse hoof or that it can go a year without eating - something obese Americans must envy. Gerald Ross of Mashpee ran apopular attraction insidethe museumdescribinghowmodel boats are placed inside bottles while sharing the lore of the ancient sailorswho,fond ofthe bottle ashore, spirited more than a few aboard for solace during the next interminable * A-WcJ ! ,• • • voyage. At sea, he said, the sailors had time to make models ot ships they would encounter. Storing the delicate models without breaking them was a problem, and from that devel- oped the ingenuity of finding a way to use the bottles they brought with them to protect their fragile frigates when stowed. (Ship-in-a-bottle kits are available on the Internet for those who may want to try it.) For visitorswho didn 't know one fish from another, as most fish they meet (and eat) are al- ready filleted ,there was aniced get-acquainteddisplay of more than25speciesproduced bythe Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen'sAssociation,along withvideos of various methods offishing to include lobstering, weir and longlining. Another crowd pleaser wasa liveandongoingdemonstration ofhowthe WampanoagIndians made their dugout boats. Tim Turner, an interpreter at the PlimothPlantation, had a wood fire going in one of the boats made by hollowingout a large log with continuous fire . "This one took 4 1/2 days," he said. "Four of us (at Plimoth Plantation) each spent 24 hours"watchingand nurturing wood fire to burn acavityinthe log and thus, fashion a boat. He also displayed how heat- ed pine pitch was used to plug leaks in the vessel. The event wasalsothe public unveiling of sorts of a Growth Management Department ini- tiative to build a path along Aselton Park to the waterfront as sort of an extension of the Walkwayto the Sea -part of it completed just in time to give the festival the scent of freshly laid blacktop. While Maritime Days pro- ducers planted parking signs as far off asthe Airport Rotary directing drivers to the mu- nicipal lot at town hall, some drivers parked along Ocean Street where many metered spaces had been blocked off, evidently for construction going on along the sidewalks there. It may have dissuaded somepassersby from stopping, particularly because the town has resumed, again without warning, handing out parking tickets in the Ocean Street area and creating some illwill among locals. The event coincided also with the opening of some of the nearby artist shanties for the season where a young Mi- cheleKennedyof NewYorkand Osterville was beginning her first season of shanty tenancy and thought the Hyannis wa- terfront nowhasa"Nantucket" look to it. For the children, there was a moon bounce, juggling act and face painting while the Colum CillesPipes and Drums, the New Bedford Sea Chantey Chorus, and several bands entertained. OSTERVILLE MARITIME FESTIVAL 2006 LUCINDA HARRISON PHOTO CARVE AWAY - This fine fish Carver, Dave Newcomer ot N.
