03/28/2023 Ed Neal wrote for Glimpse of the Past museumc collection blog "There is no record of any boat built to Henry's plans. However, the Bay Village Historical Society is involved in a current project to actually build Henry's 1953 design for a 9' 7" boat he labeled a utility dinghy. Since the boat presents a flat transom front rather than the typical pointed bow of a dinghy, it is being referred to as a utility pram to eliminate confusion. Led by the Cleveland Amateur Boatbuilding and Boating Society, the boat will be used to aid in the regular clean-up of North Coast Harbor, the area behind the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame. An early summer launch is planned. Anyone interested in the project can contact Ed Neal 440-570-7620 for more information or check out the group's website: www. cabbs.org."Collection
