I don't have a lobster boat, wouldn't make sense in Austin TX, but I've admired them from close and afar. Brad Storey and my brother built what I suppose is one of the last wooden Lobster boats in the Storey yard in Essex MA, ca. 1995 (?). I've admired the structure and the design of wooden boats since I was a child, so long ago. Particularly those from New England and Nova Scotia. Even spent about 20 years building such things, but way down south where the shipworms congregate. Perhaps that's due to epigenetics from my great grandfather who was a ship captain up in Hantsport NS, until the turn of the century, did the New York to China route. His last ship, which he purchased, probably to his regret, was the Hamburg, the largest Bark built in Canada. Ah yes, the point. I did well here in the godawful state of Texas, made some bucks, built a nice house, but had to educate the architect on the difference between a lobster boat and a yacht, or a McMansion. Went broke, so I now live in a cottage that I'm trying to turn into something like a boat.

Neat training aide interactive exhibit.

This is absolutely amazing history of how the red jacket is remembered and it's interesting how the white star line didn't always have ships with their names ending in ic

Cheers!!💐💐💐💐😁🎈🎈🎈🎈⛵⛵⛵🚤🚤🚤🚣🚣🚣🚣

Unfortunately, the “Hero” is no longer with us. Sank at its mooring in Washington state after considerable neglect and was dismantled and disposed of. 😔

hola

Had one of his " Instant Boat" books for years : nice to see him " live". Another great old boatman gone to greater waters.....

“Orca” The boat from Jaws was a Novi Cape islander converted originally from when it was called the warlock. I don’t know who the builder was but it was used in 1974 for the filming of Jaws.

Very interesting and entertaining.

I found some issue your channel: No Keywords/Hashtags in your videos, Some Keywords/Hashtags in your channel Tag area, Description not optimize and have more issue. Do KZbin SEO and increase more view.

I don't think that's a gaff. More likely for handling timber / logs.

And it most likely was a man who designed the clothing and bustles (think the French couturier Worth during the Regency Period)! You can’t tell me that any woman willingly designed such an instrument of torture called the corset!

I own a Osmond Beal designed boat built by H&H. Owned one wooden boat before that built on Orrs Island. The hulls built today wood or fiberglass as lobster/ fishing boats are capable, seaworthy,money making vessels. I love mine. Thank you to all the builders,designers and finishers for these vessel and also the ones that unfortunately have passed, I am partial to Beals Island designs just wished I could met Osmond Paul J. Cundys Harbor

I know the capstan of tape recorders and cassette players. The capstan is the shaft that determines the speed of the tape.

Fair enough.

Danny backmen built his own boats he was best wood worker on The planet!!!!

I think the culture was different then. They had a very professional idea of what should or should not be in the log book. I'm sure marriages would also not be in the log book. Only thing I think they might have included was the death of a passenger.

I sure miss Phil, and Harold. The world's not the same without them

One of my great grandfathers helped build this ship. I found him on ancestry. 👍😃

This was great, thank you

Fabulous lecture. Fabulous lecturer. What a treat! And I suspect he is just scratching the surface.

That’s my grandmas brother ! Jimmy.

I think John's Bay built a wooden boat for I guy I was renovating a couple homes for on Greening Island at Southwest Harbor back in the late 80's. It was a beautiful lobster style boat but decked out inside, powered with a Volvo IB. It was never to be used as a lobster boat when this guy owned it except for the few traps I pulled. I thought he paid to much @ $200k but she was something special that is for sure.

Stand and row. Who would have thought.

I lived on a boat in the 70s-80s that was built in '46 at the Sample yard in Boothbay. While it had more cabin space and headroom, it had lines similar to some of these boats. It was built for a family named Bradley, and they were tall.

Thank you for providing this recording of your presentation. My internet service is not the best in the rural area where I live, so Zoom is often very frustrating. Your voice is clear and easy to understand. The enlarging of the photographs was especially appreciated. My husband and I travel to Maine often and find it to be one of our favorite vacation areas. Hope to have the opportunity to participate in some of the Fiber College events soon now that I'm retired. Looking forward to the presentation on March 2nd.

Love Hiroshige

Terminator was run by Sid Eaton from stonington hell yea aj 28 boat he’s had them for a long time.

Thanks! One of my very favorite boats. I got to sail on the Endeavor out of Nantucket for several summer vacations back in the 90s.

So wise people

As I watch the video, I'm looking around at all the models on his workbench, each one a work of art, and an investment of many, many hours of very careful, meticulous craftsmanship. And I expect he took up model making after a lot of years of building full-sized boats. Quite a man.

That Riley Beal is who I'm named after

Not a bad gig.

Extordanary project, testament to the people of Maine and the volunteer’s character!

I am trying to envision a bird's eye view of the deck with the geographical markers noted by the Captain. There might be the basis for a "children's activity". An outline might be provided and various locations mentioned could be labelled and then discussed.

Thanks! That was a fascinating presentation!

Interesting. The photo of the ship in dry dock puts an interesting perspective on the size of the ship. Makes me wonder about the size of the Hesper and Luther Little beached in Wiscasset as I remember them from the 1950s. We would see them over the years as we drove over the Highway 1 bridge.

And going to the DMV to register that boat was a pain in the @&! back in those days. It took two weeks by horse and buggy to get to the DMV office in Boston.

Nowadays it’s just easier to watch ‘Inside Edition’ on TV.

Some interesting discussions elsewhere on pennant (pendant) and flag direction in paintings of sailing ships underway.

You talk about Backman well Danny Backman built 2 of his own 39 and 44 . His son Freddy used his uncles boat the plumestella. For a long time .Danny had 5000 dollars of lumber in the yard for awhile then he started that pile is 44 foot beautiful boat got windshield wipers

Thank you Tootsie and Alan Beal Senior , for looking after me and giving me shelter during that lovely summer of 1988 , I'm my heart forever ♥ ❤ ❤❤

Great presentation by the legendary master boat builder. The highest mark of 4 in the US Navy is defined as outstanding - and that's how I'd rate this video.

Priceless stories. Pile of cedar. Time on his hands. What better than to build another peapod? Thanks for the wonderful videos.

Didn’t have to carry fish home. But relatives in Tenants Harbor who were lobsterman would drop off a few lobster on their way home. I didn’t know lobster was an expensive delicacy until I was a teenager and went to buy a lobster at the market in Boston.

Visited his shop years ago while at Wooden Boat School. Brilliant, innovative man.

Great repurposed (or invented) tools. Hope one of the future clips (or the assembled film) shows the process of bending the frames in place - and riveting them.

Years of work condensed into 40 minutes. Quite an undertaking! Thanks for the video.
