An Oyster Boat Called a Sandbagger

Down on South Padre Island, Sam Wells saw my post about the Bonackers and, after reading the Times story, wrote an account of a type of Long Island Sound oyster boat called a Sandbagger that played an interesting role in sailboat history.

It's on his blog, here. He said in an e-mail to me: "I don’t know how convincing my history is, but I had fun writing it!"
