Day Two in Newport RI

 The shipyard services many fabulous boats.












This is the harbor.

Lunch at The Black Pearl.






 The gates to The Breakers.  We toured this mansion and also The Marble House.  Both of these great houses were built by Vanderbilt wives.  It was very interesting that one of these wives was a huge Suffragette whose influence (apparently) contributed to getting women the vote in 1920.









This is the lawn.






No pictures inside.  This is The Breakers.   There was one room that had platinum trim.  It never tarnishes.  Unbelievable!










 This is The Marble House.  I am so glad we toured two of these because they were as different as night and day.  The Breakers was very similar to the Vanderbilt Mansion in Ashville as far as size and decor, but The Marble House was austerely elegant.  This wife (the suffragette) really had great taste.
