Boats that Float and Boats that don't - we've got 'em all

Such an eclectic and unique array of boats in our collection!

  • Historic Friendship Sloops, Black Jack and Persistence - icons of the 19th century workman's transportation and fishing craft
  • Schooner GEM of Penobscot Bay, a ferro cement vessel, currently "on the hard" at the museum
  • A Payson built Metinic Island Chopping Tray in our H.M. Payson Boat Shed
  • A steam powered launch, complete with a fully functioning calliope
  • Two Herreshoff 12-1/2 - classically designed small sailing vessels (Skimmer and Meriweather)
  • A fleet of Optimist Prams, giving area youngsters a chance to get  out on the water
  • and the list goes on and on!

That's a just sampling of the wonderful collection of boats, ranging in size from working remote control models of sail, power, and steam vessels all the way to the former live-aboard schooner, GEM.  Click on the links above to see more detail on specific boats, and come visit the museum to seem them all!
