Milford Buchanan and the Shelburne Dory

by Text and photographs by Brad Dimock

Milford Buchanan and I had already bent the pre-made bottom of the dory into the building jig—or horse, as he called the ancient cradle on the boatshop floor at the Dory Shop Museum in Shelburne, Nova Scotia. We had wedged the flat bottom tightly in place using posts and jacks that had been used to spring more than 50,000 bottoms to the standard 31⁄2" rocker.

Because of careful attention for six decades by Dr. George Gilbert, her only previous owner, the 1954 Newbert & Wallace lobster yacht ALBATROSS only needed deck, cabin top, and cockpit sole resheathing when she came to a new owner last year.

A Schooner for the Ages

by Randall Peffer

The previous issue of WoodenBoat included the story of the first three careers of the legendary Essex-built schooner ERNESTINA-MORRISSEY. After fishing successfully for more than two decades, she gained notoriety as an Arctic exploration vessel under the command of Capt. Robert Bartlett. And during World War II, she was a supply vessel. Here, we pick up the story with her transformation into a vessel of immigration.

POLARIS

She is the newest, and definitely shiniest, of the very few Viking boats to ever arrive on New England shores within the last millennium.

The Salcombe Yawls of Devon

Distinctive racing yawls, tracing a long lineage to Devon coastal workboats, have been racing off the English town of Salcombe for generations. Here, the revolutionary NUFFIN (Y141), the boat that precipitated a split of the development class into two divisions in the 1980s, leads the fleet. Close behind are ANOTHER DILEMMA (Y173), FIRECREST (Y187), and SPRUCE GOOSE (Y177). All four boats were designed by Phil Morrison and sail in the Red Fleet, created after NUFFIN was built.

A Schooner for the Ages

by David O’Reilly • Photographs by Robert Mitchell

The sun was rising over New Bedford, Massachusetts, on April 12, 2015, and a light northerly was flapping flags on State Pier as Capt. Charlie Mitchell shifted his 58' tugboat, JAGUAR, into reverse. From the helm, Mitchell watched the short hawser on his bow rise, shudder, and pull tight. With a small crowd watching from the docks, he throttled up JAGUAR’s 1,000-hp diesel engine and eased the weary remains of the legendary schooner ERNESTINA-MORRISSEY out toward Buzzards Bay.

POLARIS shines honey gold, her Alaska yellow cedar planking reflecting in the sunlight. She is the newest, and definitely shiniest, of the very few Viking boats to ever arrive on New England shores within the last millennium.

Restoring Schooner MARY E

by Tim Clark

When the schooner MARY E arrived in Bath, Maine, after being sailed up the New England coast from Essex, Connecticut, she was welcomed with a party and then hauled out and trailered to the grounds of the Maine Maritime Museum. There, Maine shipwright Andros Kypragoras (see WB No. 252 about his restoration of schooner BOWDOIN) and a small crew, which included me, were hired to carry out the job of restoring her as accurately as possible to her original 1906 appearance.
