Salty The Seahorse

Surprisingly, it's been more than 20 years since Mattapoisett's beloved Salty the Seahorse has seen a fresh coat of paint. That changed this week.

Whether you're just visiting the SouthCoast, are new to the area, or are a born-and-bred Southcoast-for-lifer, there's always something new to check out.

You drive by it every day, but where did Salty the Seahorse come from? With the help of a local museum, I discovered the origin of this Mattapoisett landmark.

Gazelle compares it to some of the most common and also most random items, places and things that represent SouthCoast communities.
