Eastport, Maine is the easternmost city in the United States and holds a huge July 4th parade every year. Since 1905, there has been a Coast Guard or U. S. Navy ship in port, providing free tours and often the sailors march in the parade.
In 2004, Vic's ship was the Navy ship in port for the festivities and he picked up this replica of the Small Town X Fisherman Statue as a memento. It has quite an interesting history here.
Maybe I'll get to see the real thing one day. One of my nieces lives very near Eastport.
