Friday,the last day of a too short,weeks vacation,i went snooping around New Bedford,the largest Whaling Port in her time,and Fairhaven Mass.,which is across the Harbor. First i'll show some pics of the Fairhaven Shipyard.[attachment 55219 newbedford076.jpg] The place is gated,but i could see quite a few vessels,one being the tug,you may have viewed earlier.An older Gentleman let me and my buddy in,when we asked if we could take some pics! Well i think i made good use of the couple hours,we spent snooping in there.There were so many candidates for pics,did'nt know where to start!!The boating season hasn't really started up here yet,its still a bit early to splash,but this place was hopping! I'll start by showing you a brand new fishing vessel,being built under a huge tent. She is steel,so you can see in the pics,there is alot of welding to be down. I don't think i could spend day after day,welding this vessel together out of sheet steel.[attachment 55220 newbedford084.jpg][attachment 55221 newbedford086.jpg][attachment 55222 newbedford087.jpg][attachment 55223 newbedford088.jpg][attachment 55224 newbedford089.jpg]
