Tugboat Ocean
New England Regional Travel Tips, by Alice Gregory
New Englanders are proud of their region and of the abundance of attractions which highlight the history and culture unique to this area. But they do not just sit back and enjoy it. Museums and attractions are constantly working to enhance the visitor experience, continuing restoration work, adding exhibits or offering a tour with a new twist in a popular destination. Another thing New Englanders are passionate about is food. Lobster is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of New England's cuisine. But Maine potatoes have found their way out of the fryer and into premium vodka, and the sea breezes along the south coast of Rhode Island and Connecticut help produce award-winning wines. In New England, there is always something new!
Connecticut
Mystic Seaport, the Museum of America and the Sea, is the nations most important maritime museum, but its also the most delightful way to learn about our seafaring history-whaling, fishing, boat building and life in a 19th-century coastal village. Because Mystic Seaport is also a research center, your group has the opportunity to watch as important historic vessels undergo restoration. In 2007, the Charles W. Morgan, the last wooden whaling vessel from the great days of sail, will be put in dry dock on-site and visitors will still be able to visit the Morgan and observe this preservation project first-hand. A very popular special exhibit through 2006 is Black Hands, Blue Seas, which chronicles the maritime heritage of African-Americans. In 2007, a special exhibition on Tugboats and their influence on maritime history is being planned.
Rhode Island
The newest addition to the Ocean States attractions is the Majestic, a 149-passenger yacht-style vessel that just launched its first season on Narragansett Bay at the end of April. Your groups will be able to enjoy a one-hour narrated cruise of Newports scenic harbor, a lunch cruise or an elegant dinner cruise.
Massachusetts
Historic Tours of America is diligently acquiring artifacts regarding the Boston Tea Party for the new Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum when it opens in 2007. The museum will be dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the event in Boston Harbor on December 16, 1773, which sparked the revolution. The recently acquired Robinson Tea Chest is one of only two known surviving crates from the event and will be a centerpiece of the new museum.
Other news for 2006 at Historic Tours of America is that your clients taking an Old Town Trolley tour will enjoy a walking tour of Beacon Hill with a costumed guide as part of their package. If your group is looking for something fun to do in the evening, they have introduced a Ghosts andGravestones tour. Half the tour is on Old Town Trolleys, but these trolleys are black with purple fluorescent lights. Guides use keys to let the group into the historic cemeteries where they are met by a gravedigger in costume.
At the western end of the state, the Berkshires offers an abundance of great sightseeing opportunities. At The Mount, the magnificent estate of the author Edith Wharton, groups can take a 45-minute guided tour of the house, including the recently restored formal areas. The freshly planted gardens are spectacular and can be combined with the tour of the house.
Tanglewood is the summer home of the Boston Symphony, but the Berkshires have an abundance of theatre and music. This summer, the newly restored Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield will reopen after a comprehensive restoration project to bring it back to its turn-of-the-century elegance. It is one of Americas finest theaters to have survived the years intact. Attend a performance if possible, but groups can book tours of the facility to see this architectural treasure.

Tugboat Annie - Fullscreen B&W $24.99 Marie Dressler plays the title character, tugboat captain Annie Brennan, in this 1933 Hollywood box office hit. Her husband Terry (Wallace Beery) is a lazy, bragging drunk. Robert Young plays their son Alec, who has big ambitions and winds up as captain of a fancy ocean liner. The ocean liner's owner is Red Severn (Willard Robertson), whose daughter Pat (Maureen O'Sullivan) is the object of Alec's longings. Young tries to get his mother to leave his father and join him on the ocean liner, but she refuses out of love for her husband and her tugboat.

Sequels were made in later years, with Marjorie Rambeau and later Jane Darwell in the title role, and it was made into a TV series in the 1950s. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi |

Film Trailer of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is an American fantasy drama film released in 2008, with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett as the leading actors. The film is superbly directed by David Fincher, who has earlier directed hits like Zodiac, Fight Club to his credit. The film received thirteen Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Brad Pitt who himself is a fantastic actor with his roles in other movies like Ocean Twelve, Legends of the Fall,Snatch,Babel to name the few.
The movie trailer shows the set in Batlimore, not Orleans the baby is born speaking like an adult; has a long white beard; is born in a hospital, not at home; and is 70 years old, not 80; is not deserted by his father at a home for the elderly, but is cared for by Mr. Button and encouraged to go to college. The weirdest idea of the movie is that it shows the man ageing in reverse, Brad Pitt at the age of 71 is shown as youthful as of 21 years of age. The movie trailer shows a flashback where Cate Blanchett shown lying on her deathbed in Orleans hospital with her 37 years daughter Caroline by her side. Daisy tells Caroline the story of a blind clockmaker named Gateau who assigned to make a clock to be installed in the New Orleans train station. Unfortunately after getting the news of his son’s death WWI,he devotedly continues with the clock commissioning work, but purposely designed it to run backward, in the hope that it would bring back those who died in the war.
This movie trailer shows that people are celebrating the end of WWI in New Orleans in the year 1918; a baby boy is born with physical appearance of an 85 year old man. Mother dies after birth and the Father (Button) abandons the child on the steps of the hospital, only to be looked after by the staffs, who are a childless couple, to raise the kid and they call him Benjamin. Over the years Benjamin begins to grow younger biologically. In 1930, while still appearing to be 73, Benjamin meets a young 6-year-old girl named Daisy (Elle Fanning).The children play together and listen to Daisy's grandmother read from a storybook. Benjamin goes to work for a tattoo artist on the docks with Captain Mike, in the free time Captain Mike would take Benjamin to bars and strip clubs. Benjamin meets Thomas Button for the very first time but does not reveal he is the father of his. . In 1936, after making friends with a man who got struck by lightning Benjamin leaves New Orleans with the tugboat crew for a long-term work engagement.
