The care and craftsmanship in the art of building wooden vessels
has become a thing of the past. Replaced by the fiberglass boats of
today, wooden vessels are a reminder of the way things were done in
an earlier America. Discover the beauty of these vessels and the
history behind them in Barbara Dyeras Vessels of Camden, a unique
and engaging tribute to a shipbuilding community. Along with Bar
Harbor, Maine, Camden is one of only two towns on the eastern
seaboard where the mountains meet the sea. Tourists have been
attracted to this picturesque
town since its incorporation in 1791, and its coastal
location has had a great influence on the townas industries.
Shipbuilding played a prominent role in the development of Camden,
a development that can be traced through carefully preserved
historic photographs. The images in this collection depict
approximately 100 years of vessel craftsmanship in
Camden, from 1863 to 1963. The charm and elegance of
these maritime gems is sure to take hold of the readeras
imagination and elicit visions of sailing the open seas.
