FOREWORD:
Boatbuilding is part of the American heritage. The settlers of New England developed the sturdy dory to cope with the storm-wracked Atlantic wate rs in which they fished. It was a rare son of Ma ine or Massachusetts who could not fashion his own boat with crude hand Tools.
- The rivers of America were explored by men who learned from the Indians how to make bark and dugout canoes. Flatboats carried a large part of the goods of the pioneers during the westward movement.
- Today, boatbuilding is no longer a part of everyday life, except in some fishing communities where boats still are built by men who earn their livelihood from them. But there are a surprising number of amateur boatbuilders.
