Key West is one of my favorite places to visit. We parked the car at the hotel, rented scooters, and off we went. My friend and I just laughed our way through the streets - it was such a fun time. And now - looking at these photos, I can't wait until we go again :)

Sitting on a wooden bench outside of the Key West Aquarium is an old sea captain just waiting for someone who will sit and listen to him reminisce about his many adventures.

Denise >  Mallory Square - Key West  (June 4, 2008)

. . . where the sun sets and the fun begins . . .

Mallory Square was the hub of Key West's wrecking industry and commercial shipping in the 19th century. From the 1870s, it was known as the Mallory Docks.  Named after the Mallory Steamship Company, the area was the hub of steamship traffic from New York, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, Galveston, and Havana.  

In the early 1960s, the Old Island Restoration Foundation, Inc. helped the city restore the area.  At that time, the area was officially named Mallory Square, in honor of Stephen R. Mallory.  One of the island's most famous citizens, Mallory distinguished himself as County Judge, Collector of Customs, and U.S. Senator.  During the Civil War, he served as Confederate Secretary of Navy and pioneered the use of submarines and ironclad warships.

Once upon a time, one could watch the sun disappear into the water from Mallory Square.  If you want to see that happen from Key West now, you must cross the water to  Sunset Key Island.
