Virginia artist, Franklin A. Saye, has released a print in
conjunction with the 1998 Urbanna Oyster Festival. "Yesterdays"
depicts a historical scene on Urbanna Creek dating back to
1945. Everything depicted in the painting is no longer there.
Hurley's Restaurant and Hotel was a local favorite and was
demolished in the 1960's. Payne's Crab House, once a thriving
seafood business, was torn down in the late 1980's and replaced
with a new smaller building. The John Branford, tied up at
Payne's, was converted from a sailing bugeye and was built
at the turn of the century at Fishing Island, Maryland. The
Muriel Eileen was built in the 1920's in Guinea, Virginia
with an unusual two story pilot house and was owned and worked
by the Lord Mott canning factory at Urbanna Creek.
