Brad Abbott: The History and Future of Gannon & Benjamin
-
Brad Abbott of Gannon & Benjamin Marine Railway, Inc., will share the history of the boatyard from the early times, when Ross Gannon and Nat Benjamin had to roll their first projects up on the beach in Vineyard Haven Harbor, to present-day operation, and what lies ahead.
He will also discuss the yard’s insights on the future of wooden-boat building and repair, and why it is so important to New England and beyond. Join us for Brad’s presentation at the 2025 WoodenBoat Show at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, June 27.
