The Shipwright and the Schooner
Building a Windjammer in the New England Tradition
By DAN TOBYNE – HAROLD BURNHAM
Beginning in 2010, Essex, Massachusetts shipbuilder Harold Burnham took on the challenge of constructing a wooden sailing vessel using traditional techniques. He cut the trees himself from his woodlot, and milled them himself at his boatyard. Using volunteer labor from hundreds of friends, acquaintances, and community members, and recycled and repurposed materials he constructed, in just under a year, the schooner Ardelle at a cost of less than $20,000.
The Shipwriight and the Schooner is an exploration into traditional New England shipbuilding, and it is a journey of discovery for both the author, who has spent his life building wooden boats, and the photographer, who had his first experiences in the boatyard. The book chronicles in words and stunning color photographs the construction, launch, and subsequent season of sailing aboard the Ardelle. The vessel is a testament to community involvement and a badge of honor in the age of mass production. It is a reminder of simpler times, when things were meticulously crafted by hand, and of a lifeway that has mostly vanished.
The Shipwright and the Schooner is published by Rowman and LittlefieldĀ and is available to purchase at Maritme Gloucester.

PAVILION BEACH GORGEOUS TWILIGHT FROM THE BEAUPORT HOTEL RESTAURANT DECK
Beauport Princess and Greasy Pole
Last night’s spectacular fireworks display was preceded by a glorious twilight. After photographing the parade, I met my husband at the Beauport for a fabulous al fresco dinner of fresh, locally sourced fish and veggies. The deck was filled to capacity with expectant firework’s viewers yet despite that, our meals were deliciousĀ and theĀ serviceĀ exceptional. Marly was our waitress andĀ although it was her first night on the job, she is top notch. Colleen was the hostess. ManyĀ may recall what a sweet and welcoming person she is from her years at the Studio and Rudder. It was a treat to see ColleenĀ at the Beauport!
The sky changed from golden violet to violet pinkĀ within seconds and it was fun to see all the boats jockeyingĀ into position for firework’s viewing.
