Back When

Here is a look back at Point Breeze and Oak Orchard in 1948. The pictures are from Jonie Richmond's Kodachrome collection. The racing of Snipes at the Point had begun ten years earlier with the formation of OOYC, but it was curtailed during the war years. The Snipe activity picked up considerably at the war's end and OOYC once again became a sailboat racing club.
