OFFICE PROFILE Phikdelphia
In Philadelphia three hundred years
of history are as real as the old narrow
streets in the Society Hill section
with ruts worn in the cobblestones
by the horse-drawn carriages and
wagons of long ago, as real as the
Liberty Bell, Independence Hall or
nearby Valley Forge. On a mild autumn

the city, oars dip and sweep, occasionally
catching the sun, as sculls glide
through the morning mist on the
Schuylkill River.
At Penn's Landing on the Delaware
River the wooden-hulled, square-rigged
Gazela Primeiro, built in Portugal in 1883
as a fishing boat and still virtually as
sound as the day she was launched,
dreams under a warm sun of voyages
lasting up to six months on the Grand
Banks off Newfoundland. Berthed
nearby, aging veterans for children of a
newer age to stare and wonder at, are
