Description
Like many coastal New England towns, Essex has always had it’s farming, manufacturing, and fishing businesses but shipbuilding was clearly the towns defining industry. While the shipbuilding industry no longer defines the town economically, culturally it is still important to the community to keep the tradition of wooden ship and boat building alive in Essex. Guests will join EHSSM for a conversation with the National Heritage Fellow Harold Burnham and a team of Essex shipwrights who have helped keep the tradition going and are hopeful for its future, which will be led by Harold Burnham, Brad Story, Jeff Lane.
