WILLIAMS "OCEANGOING" COTTAGES & TWIN WATERSPOUTS
Feb 14 2007, 8:21 AM EST
Williams Beachfront Cottages were located about 12th Avenue North, until a storms strong wave action broke through the seawall there. If I recall correctly, Fletcher 1954 classmates Fred Williams, Bill Evenden and I watched the waves eat away the earth - slowly creeping up to the small cottages. Eventually, a cottage would be unearthed and slide into the sea, to float out a ways & eventually collapse.
Some time during the 1960's, my wife was driving from east on Beach Blvd. from Center Park, to her Beaches doctor. She quickly returned home, half scared, as she had just witnessed 2 large "twin water spouts" just offshore - right in front of her. I believe that Life magazine had an article and photos of it. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

When I read your mention of the twin water spouts,I witness the same from the south end of the beach. I watch them ,then thought I should take a picture ,but had no film in the camera.
A few days later it was on the front cover of a national weekly. Do you find this valuable? |
