Synopsis
The Maine lobsterboat is known and admired all over the country. This is a book on how to build one of these beautiful boats from start to finish. Over the years, many hundreds of these craft have been built so hat the methods of construction details have been worked out and refined to an unusual degree. For their size, these lobseterboats withstand some of the harshest possible use, as most of them fish all winter off the stormy coast of Maine. Such a boat has to be good to survive. There are differences in the boats from one part of the coast to another, and from one boat to another within an area. But the boats from Beals Island and Jonesport have always been highly regarded, especially for their graceful good looks and high speed. The late Will Frost's boats were always advanced for their day, and it was not at all strange that during Prohibition his shops on Beals Island and Jonesport were engaged to build some fast, high-powered rumrunners. His influence has much to so with the modern Maine lobsterboat as we know it today. Not a little of Will Frost's thinking about lobsterboats was passed on to his grandson Royal Lowell, the author of this book., Many Nova Scotia boatbuilders moved to coastal Maine villages during the early 1900s. Among them was the legendary William Frost of Beals Island and Jonesport. One of his major accomplishments was his influence on the transition of the "Torpedo" stern to the vertically constructed transom. Will Frost's legacy includes sharing his wealth of design and boatbuilding skills with Royal Lowell, his grandson. Royal has combined his own special design and construction know-how in this first-class detailed "How To" book on wooden boat-building. Nothing is left to chance. Whether it's mold and pattern making or the chapters on framing and planking, the instructions are clear, understandable, and concise. The abundant use of photos and well-executed detailed drawings add immeasurably to the text. The expanded glossary includes a bonus of new detailed designs not found in the first edition. Royal was truly a master builder, designer, and teacher. This book, a testimonial to his brilliance, contains a wealth of boatbuilding instruction and enjoyable reading for present and future generations. Book jacket.
