In the spirit of our program tomorrow night (May 2nd, 2016), we thought a few old
photos of Pleasant Point might be of interest. All of the photos date
to about 1900 except the last which was may be earlier and is probably
St Andrews, not Pleasant Point. The sketch was done in 1857 by the
Catholic priest in residence at the time. We want to thank the Tides
Institute for these photos.
