Revival of Shipping Boosts Small Craft Demand at Blaisdell
A shipyard on Front Street reports a revival in shipbuilding creating strong demand for boats. Contracts cover 24 ft yawls and 16 to 23 ft boats for firms such as Percy & Small G. G. Deering Co. and Shawmut Steamship Co. with most yawls using Mianus engines. Government cedar lumber shortage shifts to cypress planking and local and distant orders extend to Boothbay Harbor Boston and New York. A memorial service for Miss Bliss at Corliss Street Church is announced with Rev J Horan traveling to Boston and Sandwich.
