MacGregor Jr., who is known in the New England area as the Junkyard Artist. (...Original Nautical Chart Painting is Available, please inquire...) ---------------------------------------------------------- Yoken’s Restaurant and gift shop opened in 1947 and was a favorite for locals and visitors whenever they were in the Portsmouth NH area. Yoken’s was famous for great family dining and also banquets, weddings, conventions and reunions. Yoken’s featured a huge menu but a emphasis on seafood. YUM!!! After finishing your delicious meal, you were given a key for the treasure chest and immediately headed to the gift shop. We are never fortunate to have one of the winning keys to open the chest. Maybe you had one of the winning keys? The gift shop was huge with thousands of souvenirs, collectible, cards and Christmas gifts. Yoken’s was easy to find on route 1 by the large whale with the slogan “Thar she blows”. Sadly, Yoken’s closed in 2004, but the famous sign is still prominent on route 1. “Thar She Blows” --------------------------------------------------------------- Art Print of the famous sign for Yoken’s Restaurant in Portsmouth NH.

MacGregor, Jr. was born in Medfield, MA, the son and grandson of Norfolk Hunt Club kennel masters. Many of his family members were self-taught artists, woodcarvers, automobile mechanics and veterans of foreign wars including his father a WW1 US Army veteran. Bill is a graduate of Medfield High School, Wentworth Institute, and Northeastern University. His engineering career, from which he is now retired, included working for military and aerospace companies in industrial engineering and IR optics. His painting incorporates “old skool” mechanical and civil drafting tools and he uses a mixed medium of watercolors, acrylics and inks. Two rabbits are often in quite a few of his paintings. Look for them. He is frequently commissioned by United States Naval officers to create paintings of their ships and aircraft carriers on nautical charts. In May,2018, and for one year, four of Bill’s automotive related paintings were on display at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA
