Season Opening at Bristol Boat Shops Shows Shipyard Activity
The Bristol harbor segment reports on vessels under construction or launch readying. The Lyman W. Dean catboat awaits a trial, steam yacht Judith to be commissioned May 1, Niagara’s fin keel to be added, Marjorie launched and bound for New York, Dusquene launched for Theodore R. Hostetter, and ongoing work at Saunders yards and Herreshoff. A new cup defender frames progress, water works purchase talks prompt a special town meeting April 27, and Passover observances share public notes along with church appointments in Bristol.
