4th of July177 viewsMattapoisett Boatyard set up its 40-foot mooring barge with a 50-foot crane to display a 30 foot by 50 foot American flag in the middle of Mattapoisett harbor. The flag was supplied by Richard DeMello, who owns Bete-Fleming Inc. in Mattapoisett and was reportedly thrilled to see the flag on display. Ned Kaiser of Mattapoisett Boatyard conjured up the idea a few days prior, thinking this would be a great way to give back and display the United States flag boldly and with pride.
