    Shovin' Oar from "up West" on Long Island

    I always called the the stake to hold the boat to the marsh a meadow/marsh spike. My brother finished doing a little restoration work on a BBSB last year, being from Amityville I think making a replica push poll of this style seems like a good summer project. Thanks for posting such a...
