"Miss
Ocean City" - 1941" by Paul McGehee. This nostalgic scene from the
early
1940's shows Ocean City, Maryland's namesake speedboat taking a handful
of vacationers for a cruise up the beach. Speeding along the coast in
the "Miss Ocean City" was a fun way to tour Maryland's famous beach
resort. She would depart from the Magee Yacht Basin on the bayside,
heading out of the inlet into the Atlantic Ocean, where "Miss Ocean
City" would cut through the waves along the shoreline. The bathers on
the beach watched her speed along, cutting through the waves like a hot
knife through butter...she was a sight to see in those pre-war days
"down the ocean." This brings back fond memories of carefree days at
the beach, feeling the wind in your hair and the salt spray on your
skin! Beautiful! "Miss Ocean City" - 1941" is faithfully
reproduced
as an archival-quality print from
McGehee's original color pencil drawing, each hand-signed by the artist.
