Curator's Comment
In 2000, telecommunications technician Kenneth White purchased a 29-foot sailboat named We Agreed. He docked it at the Richmond County Yacht Club on Staten Island, where he resided, and spent free time taking boating safety classes and lavishing care on the craft. Five days before the 9/11 attacks, he and his wife, Catherine, spent an evening together on the water, relaxing on the boat while admiring the Manhattan skyline.
