Godfrey's Flagstaff Sailboat

Here is the account of the building and use of Godfrey Sykes Flagstaff Sailboat.     These pages were scanned from "A Westerly Trend" that was originally Copyrighted in 1945 by Godfrey Sykes.  The edition we used is Copyright 1984 by the Arizona Historical Society and The University of Arizona Press. (ISBN 0-8165-0888-7) The use of these pages in this context is believed to be within the "Fair Use" provisions of the US Copyright Law.

Note that two formats are used here to present these pages.  Scroll down to see the "original size" postings of the pages.  One of the formats should work on any device.

Here is a 1945 view of the pond in which Sykes tested his sailboat.

The above news item appeared on Page 2 of the December 10, 1890, issue of "The Arizona Weekly Journal-Miner".

Here are the same pages put into the blog original size.  Not sure which will work better for "readability."
