Digging Up The Past In A BC Home

After prying a board off the wall, he found what was once a sign marked “The Raunt, Jamaica Bay.” The sign, still holding some of its original paint, was obviously once part of a ferry or boat stop on the bay in Broad Channel. Pictured, Mott with the portion of the board that he brought to The Wave.
