Cobb Cottage
The Cobb Cottage was built using materials salvaged from the ship. Tom Fagen was given permission to use the material to aid in the construction of the three bedroom cottage. Materials used from the wreck included railroad ties to form the exterior and railings for porch decorations. The schooner's wooden name plate, with "Nathan F. Cobb" engraved into it, hangs over the fireplace. The house is now part of Ormond Beach's Historic Trail.

Famous quotes containing the word cottage:
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
