Here is a sample calendar page that shows the improvements we made with added color. Weekend days are in red, holidays in blue, and the mini before/after calendars at the top have color. Small changes, but it makes for easier reading at first glance.

Also new for the 2015 calendar is having more than 1 colorized photo in the calendar. All of these old photos are black & white of course, with the cover photo being hand colorized. For the 2015 calendar we add a second colorized image, in this case the JOHN J. KELLY on the June page. We thank Barry Griffith for his photo coloring expertise, and use of the photo.
The original black & white photos are spectacular on their own, and as colorizing takes vast amounts of time and patience, I doubt that future calendars will offer more than 1 or 2 extra colorized photos per issue.
We also thank the Boat Photo Museum for providing nearly all of the photos in this calendar.
