Description:
Document, "Boatbuilding During World War II, M.D.I., Ellsworth, Stonington, and Bluehill" by Ralph W. Stanley, 12 pages. Ralph was 12 years old on 7 Dec 1941, and gives his personal reminiscences of that period and the war effort. He mentions the Manset Boatyard, Henry Hinckley Co., Southwest Boat, and the Mount Desert Yacht Yard, all on MDI, the Webber's Cove Boat Yard in Bluehill, and the Stonington Deer Isle Yacht Yard. He lists many vessels built at those places, and throws in a few humorous anecdotes too. Ralph lists his sources at the end. (Document transcribed as .txt and saved as html.) [show more]
