About this piece

Block Island runs on one ferry schedule and its own sense of time, and this clock splits the difference: real hours, island geography. The etching carries Great Salt Pond with its narrow cut to the sea, Old Harbor's breakwaters, and the bluffs falling away at the southern end.

It suits a cottage entry, a bunk room, or the winter house that keeps the island close in the off-season.

The full island with its depths and rips is carved on the Block Island 3D chart.
