Shipbuilding
The stately sailing vessels of by-gone days travelled the seven seas and brought New England to every world port. Whether in Maine, Massachusetts or Rhode Island, today's builder is till imbued with the same pride of craftsmanship which inspired his ancestors in the creation of such masterpieces of shipbuilding as the elegant "China Clipper" or the sturdy fishing vessel.
