I was in Seattle for business last week, which allowed me to make a pilgrimage to the Center for Wooden Boats, a place so cool I cannot contain it to a single post, nor even two. In fact, friends, a roughly two-and-a half-hour visit gave me four interesting posts to lay out for you. [...] No related posts.

No boats to play with, but I did get a chance to snap a few pics. Enjoy!

Nice article in the Newburyport (MA) Daily News on Lowell’s Boat Shop, which turns 215 – that would be two hundred and fifteen years old – on May 5. Not impressed yet? Chew on this: This makes it the oldest continuously operating boat shop in the U S of A. Not [...] No related posts.

There is logic to this, but I won’t get into it. Suffice it to say that I had recently been thinking about the wooden dories and river boats indigenous to the American West. I don’t know much about these boats and have never been in one, so I don’t think about them much [...] Related posts:

The lines are amazing and she was beautiful to row. I am particularly proud of the transom, which my dad helped me do with leftover mahogany and finish bright. Same with the breasthook.
