Laura Jernegan: Girl on a Whaleship
The Catboat Builder: Manuel Swartz Roberts
Renowned Life magazine photojournalist Alfred Eisenstaedt first came to Marthas Vineyard in 1937 and returned every summer for the rest of his life. During his summers on the Vineyard, Eisenstaedt stayed at the Menemsha Inn, and over the decades he became part of the community.
Eisenstaedt may have been on vacation, but he never stopped taking photographs. He explored the whole Island, camera in hand, and gathered striking images of its people and places. Sometimes he even found reasons to return during the off-season. In the winter of 1952 he recorded the lives of people who lived here year-round.
