Could everyone write one simple essay about something that once happened in Saltaire…that they saw or were a part of…and put it on one big website? Somebody should collect a lot of stories before we all forget. Otherwise it is like a line in “On The Beach” : The history of the war that now would never be written.” -(JO'H)

Anyone Know the Griffith Kids?

If anyone knows the Griffith Kids, give them a call and tell them we have this snapshot of them. Photo taken in Saltaire July 5, 1915.

An original vintage photo of 2 women talking to the Griffith Children in Saltaire, Fire Island New York. This is so richly printed and has such wonderful detail. Lower border says, "July 5, 1915"
