Swampscott Stories
Photos From the Past Two Days
From a drive-thru pic to waves and a cradled boat.
Here are some photos, mostly from after Irene. The beaches were inching back toward normalcy Monday: beach people were lounging in the sun and reading books. The sky was mostly blue and the air clean. Still, much of the talk and activity revolved around the storm and power of mother nature. Several boats took on major damage and a few were destroyed. Most of the big sail boats, however, will soon sail again. Many owners reported minimal damage. There were no deaths or serious injuries reported. Monday at King's Beach and Fisherman's Beach storm memories were on people's minds while scattered storm reminders bobbed and rested along the shore.

Sailboat owners planned to return to their boats on Monday to move them back to Fisherman's Beach.

A few boats that landed against rocks elsewhere were badly damaged.
