section of main ribs/floor timbers attached to the Burnham building. I have many memories of us making them and steaming ribs to fasten them on the old Down East hulls we used to bring down as bare hulls and then outfit them for lobster boats or recreation. All were cobble planked and clinch nailed. Scribing in the floor timbers was a part of it enjoyed then cutting them out on the band saw. The first ones we had from up Maine way had the planked keels on them pour with pitch or tar. The lines of many of these old wood hulls were a thing of beauty. Thanks for the great shots. I miss the salt water.
