Compton’s sail boat
Maybe the only possession of Compton’s still around is this model of a sail boat that was his when he was a child. Compton’s interest in boats and the sea may have been inspired by his grandfather, Captain Daniel M. Davis , who piloted a steamer between Baltimore and Virginia. Bernard Paul obtained the model from Compton’s family estate after his mother Alice died. Bernie passed it on to his granddaughter Sharon. It now resides on the mantel in the Perfetti household.
