Reed Born 1974
About Oscar
Oscar Reed bears the seafaring strain of our tale. A Scarborough boatwright, he brought his grandsire’s fishing coble back to life — now the setting of the household’s famed sands likenesses.
Oscar guides the shore ramble at each get-together, halting at the cove where the milestone likeness has been framed for three decades.
