Douglas Brooks will be speaking at Ilsley Public Library"s
Community Room on From Skiffs to Sail Ferries: The Story of Vermont's Small Boat
Traditions. The stories of Vermont naval history and commercial shipping have been well
documented by generations of historians. However, the traditions of small boat building
from throughout our state have remained untold. The bulk of our historic boatbuilding
traditions involves Vermonters building their own boats, whether for pleasure or
commercial use. The historical record illuminating this subject resides today mostly in
family stories and photo collections. In this slide presentation, Douglas Brooks shares his
research on these traditions, and his work in recreating some of these historic vessels.
