Capt.Bil McCoy's rum running schooner Tomoka, aka Arethusa leaving Hole in Wall, Abaco, BWI in 1923. Known as "The Real McCoy" the captain was the first to use large vessels to anchor outside the US territorial 12 mile limit during Prohibition-1920 to 1933. McCoy had seen the knockabout sch.

McCoy also operated four other schooners in his rum running operations but the Tomoka/Arethusa was his favorite....

Bill lives and paints in Melbourne, Florida and was a Director of the Strawbridge Art League. While his early work was with oils and watercolor; he now works only in the mixed-media of Acrylics, Pen & Ink. Growing up in Gloucester, most of his paintings reflect that areas' famous tradition of sailing fishing and trading...
