FIREWORKS ON THE FOURTH OF JULY

It is impossible to imagine the fourth of july without thinking of fireworks. In 1970 sailing “Carina” back from Bermuda we arrived at Montauk in the morning of the fourth, sailing down Long Island Sound to Greenwich we had a show as there were fireworks on each side of the Sound the entire way down, as each city and town had their own display.

These are photos of the fireworks here in Newport last night.

  1. Had you been down in Larchmont last night, you’d have had some slightly different fireworks to photograph…nothing says “Happy Independence Day!” quite like a burning barge loaded with fireworks in the outer harbor!

    Happily the tug got it under control and I haven’t heard of any injuries or property damage yet but definitely not one you see every day.
