Acres Aweigh!

Those who see Naval Station Mayport as it is today may not realize that the property where they now stand once held a thriving resort called Wonderwood By-The-Sea. Acres Aweigh! is the story of that time, and of the woman who developed the resort, Mrs. Elizabeth P. Stark. Get to know and love this fascinating, courageous and groundbreaking woman as young tug master Overby himself knew her. But Acres Aweigh! is more than Mrs Stark's story. It is also the story of a growing Navy base during the author's tour of duty there and his adventures aboard his aging tugboat, jokingly called "June-Moon-Uniform." It will bring a knowing smile to the face of any sailor who's ever served at Mayport or aboard a Navy ship.
