Efforts to restore Western Union continue as schooner deteriorates, Local News

Finbar Gittelman recalls an early meeting he had with the Western Union. As a child growing up in Miami, his family made frequent trips to Key West. On one of those trips, when he was around 8 years old, the family drove past the waterfront and saw two schooners, one was the A.M. Adams, and the other was the Western Union. From then on, Gittelman had a connection to the ship that would become the official state flagship in 2012.
