'CAUSE THOUGH THE TRUTH MAY VARY - THIS SHIP WILL CARRY OUR BODIES SAFE TO SHORE
I went to Dixon House today. I  tried to get a rubbing of this but (even with DCDs fabulous idea of using the monster maker crayon) it didn't really turn out too great... I had to go with a plain old photo. You may have to click to enlarge it to figure out what it is...

We had these really subtle ships in the plaster -  one in the built ins near the fireplace and one above the archway in the dining room. I have had two dreams about them in the last few weeks. You wouldn't even notice them if you didn't know they were there. I don't know the meaning or symbolism behind them or when or why they were originally put there. I'll always wonder.
