Kittiwake Mystery Lithograph Artist?
Saturday, June 12, 2010 at 12:47AM 
This beautiful line drawing of the former USS Kittiwake in service docked at a pier in Norfolk, will be auctioned during the sinking week event July 22-29th, 2010, in the Cayman Islands. This drawing was provided by a former crew member.
There was a lady, rumor had it a captains wife, that used to just sit across from ships at the piers in Norfolk and draw line drawings of various ships. If anybody wanted one she would make a Lithograph copy and sell it to you.
Best as we can tell the signature appears to be a Laure S. Smith, ex-crew members thought she was in her forties back then.
Will this talented artist of the former USS Kittiwake, please step forward.

Any chance of a resident yearly pass...seems a bit cumbersome to have to buy a wristband every time we want to go for a snorkel. Takes away some spontaneity..
