Dec 20, 2021- shellfish shucking shack on the shore of Lagoon Pond in Vineyard Haven -taken Dec 10, 2021

This little shack has been on this spot on Lagoon Pond for almost 100 years. Over those years it has survived many powerful storms, and at one point fell into terrible neglect, and almost rotted away completely.

The little shack has had various owners over the years. In its early years it was used as a studio by a man, a former sailor, who built miniature ship models in it. Later on it was used as a bait shack, and a shellfish shucking shack.

At one point the wife of a couple who owned it in the1950s, decided to decorate the little window box, changing it as the seasons changed. She kept this up until her death, after whichthe shack fell into a very fragile, and deteriorated condition.

Over the years peopleon the Island had become very fond of this little shack, and many artists used it as a subject to paint or photograph. Apparently some people, who were concerned that the shack might be lost forever if something wasn't done to repair it, reached out to the current owner, the son of the woman who had died, to offer help in restoring it. That finally happened a few years ago. His wife now tends the window box that his mother had taken care of for so many years.
