Growing Up in a Boiler Room

Boiler Room Sketch20 BurnhamAt left is a photograph of the house I grew up in. The one we left in 1957. It is the same width and height (more or less) as one of the boilers on the ship (sketch above). ONE of the eight boilers. No wonder my mother was delighted when I offered to go out and play leaving my brother and sister at home with Mom.
