Salty the Seahorse kept a watchful eye on tourists headed for Cape Cod for decades, with an occassional wink of his eye to attract them into Henry Dunseith's gift shop. Located at the corner of Rt. 6 and North Street in Mattapoisett, MA, the structure stands approximately 38 feet tall and was built by Theodore Tetreault in the mid-1950s. Henry passed away in 1988 and left Salty and the gift shop to the Mattapoisett Land Trust. Salty almost met his terrible demise when the Land Trust had considered removing Salty, but many Salty fans came to his rescue. He has sinced been rewired, painted and mounted on a new pole. Barring any disasters, Salty should be able to keep an eye on use for the next 50 years.

This is a view from the Mattapoisett Town Landing off Mattapoisett Neck Road. This is a handheld panoramic stitch using 96 12 megapixel frames on a Nikon D90. Starting at the left is the Mattapoisett River outlet, the old railroad bridge, the Shining Tides YMCA camp, the Mattapoisett Wharf and further to the east are some homes off Mattapoisett Neck Road. This is my first Gigapan (handheld).
