I saw Mr Vickrey's paintings a few times at Tree's Place, a gallery in Orleans, Massachusetts on the Cape. I remember few specific paintings I have seen there, but I DO remember Vickery's. They were wonderful to see in person and beautifully memorable.

This is an historical treasure. Thank you so much for posting! So much info for everyone to know. Used to stay every summer on Town Cove in Eastham with my grandparents, Lilly & Larry O'Brien starting in 1963. Larry would take me along to Mac Reeds. We loved that place, the tips we could eavesdrop on, and the people we met there. Would sleep in my clothes ready to rise from Papa's tap on the shoulder...time to Fish!!!

I always enjoyed serving David whenever he frequented the Yardarm bar. Polite, intelligent, friendly, and beloved by staff and customers alike. Sorely missed and irreplaceable.

New Brunswick or Nova Scotia? I loved this guy’s books when I was a kid.

Great work,, thank you 🙏 ❤

Mary!!!! It's so wonderful to see you old friend!!! I'm sorry we lost touch... love you!!

As a fellow professional artist/fashion illustrator and painter I find his work fascinating and interesting to watch. As I was growing up and spending summers on the Cape, Robert Vickery had been our neighbor until another family bought his bungelow house. Since I was just in my teens at the time, all I remember were his blonde towhead kids outside playing around their house and decorating their split rail fence with tin foil! lol Thanks for sharing more of his work here as well, a fine artist indeed with a very unique style. I watched the film on his website and was amazed that he was able to meet those Time magazine deadline covers overnight! I also had to learn to illustrate quickly as a fashion illustrator in NYC as well and they used to time us in fashion sketch classes in art school with a timer! Fond memories down memory lane!

I just started building the Dumas 36500 and was wondering if you have any photos of the original boat.

Very hard to hear Suzanne , due to that daft music !!!!!!!!!! . .

Cut out that stupid piano player ( at about 33mins) ! .

I am from Ireland and I worked in the Land Ho kitchens for two summers, 1987 and 1989. It is a magical place of myths and legends. John is a gentleman.

what year was this recorded?

Wow, what a great video! I remember Mac Reeds Bait and Tackle very well from fishing in the 1980's and 1990's. I also specifically remember Mac sitting in that chair every time I came in. Great memories!

Bless u

I live in Orleans and enjoyed listening to the stories!

Wonderful! So many memories. Thank you.

I could have murdered whoever was hammering during the interview.

I am a native North Eastham’r and a Pratt Graduate, this is pure gold !!!!! Well done !!!

Grew up fishing Herring Pond in Eastham. MAC was a legend and a hell of a nice fella. he would always take a lil time to tell you a story or give you a tip!

Great stuff.... lot of memories getting worms there

I miss Capt. Bessom. A gentleman, storyteller, holder of a J.D. from Boston College, a pleasure to talk to over a "substantial" gin and tonic.

I used to live in Orleans, I grew up there, and went to school with Fran Higgins and Patricia Reed, Tell them I said Hi. and enjoy the fishing.

Is it possible to purchase a dvd copy?

Schnable still got him talkin about him though...

I remember first seeing Roberts' work in the June 1993 edition of American Artist(and still have that copy). There was a painting called "After the Swim" and recall thinking "how did he get the texture on that concrete wall" and create those the magnolia tree shadows.... Still love his 14:24 "nuns, bicycles and old brick walls" to this day.

That video would be great if it was translatable.... :/

Absolutely wonderful!! Is this available on dvd? Thank you for posting!

Mr. Murphy is not only a great artist, great businessman but a great human been. He is very kind, generous and always willing to help anybody. We'd like to thank him for sharing his life with us.

Awesome! Lived in Orleans as a kid. I miss it terribly. My friends own the Old tavern Inn since the early 80s. Thank you for doing these.

I was a coastie stationed in the Bay Area-San Fran in 1974. The 36 footers were being phased out but there were a few still being used that I saw. The crews didn't use the few there at the time as the 44 and 45 footers were the mainstay, but still talked about the 36 footers legendary seaworthiness in any kind of soup nature could throw at them. They were tough nuts and am proud folks today preserve and appreciate what these crews and their patrols boats do. They are Guardians of the Sea and daily live up to the motto Semper Paratus.

Piece Maritime History.

You should have a link to your website on this page.

Thanks for that Tom!!! Love these videos!!!!! Sad that so many of these every day characters are gone

Is be proud to own a boat like that.

The picture towards the end of Pat and a boy sucking his finger is me!

Oh my god, thank you for uploading this. This is my great grandfather, Pat is my grandmother. I am only ten minutes in, I'm expecting my father to walk through, he loved that bait shop. I would have been one.

What a trip seeing Dave after all these years. He was a year ahead of me in school. (His brother Richard was a year behind me.) In Dave's senior year at Orleans, High, we were in French class together. In the middle of the year, for some reason I can't remember, we got a new teacher. (Actually I think Gordon Argo was the original teacher and he left), a lady whose name I can't remember. Anyway, she didn't have a class roster and she went around asking us all our names. Dave said his name was Alberto Capone. For the next month she always referred to Dave as "Mr. Capone" and the rest of us struggled to contain our laughter.

That man was a walking wiki, respect !.

Than you so much for posting this! Just discovered Vickrey while learning to paint in egg tempera

all restoration say its not what was used at the time but if modern materials that we have today were available then they would have been used so all restoration should use the best thats available thats what the original builders would have done and provided the finished object has the same visual effect as the original then thats a good restoration

Great upload! Do you happen to know what the film is Robert talks about @ 24:08? Would love to find it. Thanks

Suppose Hornblower was busy elsewhere?
