In his annual tradition, the Easter Bunny kicked off the the opening season of the Paragon Carousel in Hull on Saturday. Kids enjoyed having their photos taken with Mr. Bunny, followed by taking a trip on the Carousel. This is a fundraiser for the Friends of the Paragon Carousel.
The Paragon Park Carousel
Discover the beloved Paragon Park Carousel from a whole new perspective. The Carousel has been operating along the shores of beautiful Nantasket Beach for more than 80 years. Built in 1928 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, it boasts four rows of 66 intricately carved horses and two rare Roman chariots. It is decorated with 35 original paintings, 36 cherubs and 18 goddesses who look down while a Wurlitzer Band Organ fills the air with music.
One of fewer than 100 Grand carousels remaining in the U.S. today, the Paragon Carousel touches the hearts, sparks the imaginations and ignites the creative spirits of all who visit it.

The Wind At Your Back: Hull Lifesaving Museum
The Hull Lifesaving Museum's Maritime Apprentice Program (MAP) provides intensive year-round training for at-risk youth that prepares them for entry-level opportunities in the vibrant Marine Trades Industry in the Port of Boston, Massachusetts.

2018 Lifesavers Recognition Day Awards Ceremony, Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum
On Tuesday, September 11 at the Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum, Egan Maritime gathered with Members and the Nantucket Cottage Hospital to present 2018's Lifesavers Recognition Day awards. Nantucket’s history is filled with tales of heroic lifesaving efforts by everyday citizens and those who went above and beyond the call of duty. Honoring that tradition, the following modern-day lifesavers were recognized:
Jeff Turner and Doug Lindley
Turner and Lindley co-piloted Jeff’s plane during a Nor’easter to bring an island resident to Boston for two organ transplants. Upon arrival at Logan Airport in Boston, Jeff facilitated an Uber ride for the transplant recipient to Mass General, and asked the driver to get the man to the hospital safely and as soon as possible after giving him a cash tip. Turner and Lindley went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure this man was in time for his double organ transplant when all modes of travel to and from the island had been cancelled due to foul weather.
Andrew Trott-Kielawa and Connor Ventling
Trott-Kielawa and Ventling were just getting their Strong Wings campers off Russell’s Way Beach when they heard cries of help from the shore. Two young women caught
beyond the surf line were struggling to fight the current, and would not have returned to shore without assistance. Responding quickly, they left their camp crew on the beach with a counselor-in-training, grabbed their lifesaving equipment, and went out to successfully rescue the two girls. They did this heroically and methodically, and were met by relieved parents and their proud and cheering campers when they returned to the beach.
The awards ceremony was opened by Egan Maritime Executive Director, Pauline Proch, with greetings from President and CEO of Nantucket Cottage Hospital, Margot Harmann, MD, PhD. The Honoree presentations were by Jessica Guff, Trustee of Egan Maritime and the Chair of the Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum, and Citations from the state of Massachusetts were presented by Thomas M. Dixon, Legislative Liaison for Nantucket, Office of Rep. Dylan Fernandes.

GETTING CAROUSEL READY ! ( for the night
The Carousel opens daily during Summer months, at 5pm, until
9pm every day... We were not there during the Dark hours, but I can just imagine how wonderful it looks with all of the lights shimmering and reflecting across the Pond ! We watch here, as
they prepare the Carousel for the evenings rides...
On the Plaque which is posted on front of the building, it states
that the Horses were all Hand-painted by Ed Roth, out in California.. Now... The ONLY Ed Roth I can think of, is the famous
Car painter, and more, of the 1950's, 60's, & 70's .... Also, creator
of the famous RAT FINK character ! I was told it was the same
Ed Roth, but not sure.. IF anyone can fill in the info on this matter,
Please let me know ! ! ! ? Meantime, enjoy the Start Up, of this
gorgeous Park Machinery, a most enjoyed attraction for so many
Children & Family for so many Generations...The Carousel ....
Next time, we will ride this great Carousel Ride ! ! !
