Does anyone know the owner of the former MY "Moonbeam" or "My Emeralds"

I came across this and thought the present owner may be interested. I can pick it up and ship it if we can locate the owner and they want it

"My Emeralds" was owned by (I believe) the Albano family in Norfolk, VA in the 1980s. I saw it hauled out there in a yard in Portsmouth. Albanos owned a chain of dry-cleaning shops, IIRC. I don't know if they are still in the area.

Looked on Google, they still have three locations in the area, how about that.

Google says

"A traditional country kitchen is typically centered around a warm and muted color palette, with various pops of color and contrast incorporated in decor and design. Imagine it now: You're at the sink in your country cottage, the windows open and carrying in the fresh breeze of a spring morning."


So, I guess that means that they painted over everything.

Hmmm, yeah but what about the windows open and the eau-de-low-tide?

I haven't seen this boat in decades, but she was beautiful years ago in the 80s, when she was in the Norfolk area. Biggest yacht I'd ever seen, at that point.

I looked at the listing. Wish I had not. Interior looks awful to me.

Born and raised on the Chesapeake Bay in the Virginia Beach area. Used to see the boat all the time while out fishing with my dad. Always wanted a boat like that.

Now I have my 65c and that is probably as large as I will ever go. She was called My Emeralds then.

Back in the 70's and 80's, she was very pretty.

Despite my greatest efforts the seller never responded to my messages sent within 10 minutes of listing and it is now sold

Jim Albano, whom I had met on several occasions, passed away in 2018. I am the new owner of this framed photo. Judging from the screw holes in the frame, it had been previously mounted on a boat. If an Albano family member wants this back, it's theirs for the asking.
