Boatbuilding on Mount Desert Island

Boatbuilding on Mount Desert Island

Mount Desert Island possesses a rich and diverse history of boatbuilding. Chester Clement was the first of the â€œlobsteryachtâ€ builders, and Bunker and Ellis elevated the concept. Henry Hinckley started on an old boat-repair wharf and built a world-class brand. Members of the Rich family produced everything from gleaming yachts to rugged workboats, while Sim Davis and Bink Sargent were considered the experts for big draggers. Author Laurie Schreiber highlights the histories of some of the major players in Mount Desert Islandâ€™s boatbuilding community.
