The Edna Florence is on display at the Captain Salem Avery House Museum In Shady Side.BOAT(Continued from Page Al)and helper Al Cheri of Shady Side. He and whatever help he can get are putting together the all wooden craft that he hopes to get in the water by July.“1 don’t think there has been one of these built since the early '40s,” the 72 year old Hazard saidThe beam is an 8 by 8 piece of Douglas fir more than 30 feet long The framing is white oak, the bottom is cypress and the side planks are fashioned of cedar, as the deck will be.On Thursday, Hazard and Cheri were gluing on the side rail for the decking and laying another coat of epoxy on the beam to fill some cracks that formed after the framing wasdone.“I didn't think it would be green, but those things happen,” Hazard said as he passed a wide putty knife loaded with epoxy to Cheri, who was standing in the bottom of the boat between decking cross members, ready to lay it on.The Perry Rogers-built deadrise boats have lasted with care. The Annapolis Maritime Museum has one. Miss Lonesome, built in the 1930s like the Edna Florence Hazard hopes the one he’s building will last, too.After the decking comes the engine.“I am hoping to put a 50 horsepower diesel in her, if I can afford it. We ll have to build framing for it,” Hazard said.Steering will be by stick and cable, not a wheel.I am trying to stick to as close to original as I can,” Hazard said.Bottom planks are not sealed, nor flush. Once the boat is in the water, or dampened by using wet burlap, the wood will swell up and seal itself.“I used a penny to keep the planks evenly apart,” Hazard said.“You know you never paint both sides of the boards; they will take on water,” he told a curious visitor. “And you know salt water won’t rot a boat, it’s the fresh water that does it. Old captains used to come out and dry their boats after a rain and then pour salt water on them ”Both he and Cheri are retired painters, so the paint job on the boat should be one of the best around.Hazard’s grandfather had a painting business in Baltimore, and his father did, too, after moving back down to south county. “I was born into it, I guess,” he said.Hazard lived in Shady Side and worked the water part time for a few years when he wasyounger.“I had a 50-footer in the ’50s. Used her to dredge clams for about five years,” he said. “Then I had another boat... Anne Lynn, named after my daughters ... I trotlined crabs with in the ’60s.” She was a sister ship to the Deltaville, Va.-built Miss Edith, the recently restored workboat kept at Discovery Village in Shady Side.Hazard lived in Fairhaven before moving to a house on the water in Galesville about five years ago. He was readily accepted by occasionally stranger-wary Galesville folks, he said, because his forbears had lived up the street.Several weeks ago, Hazard held a “turning party” to flip the framed and bottomed vessel over, right side up. “I had plenty of help, two winches and four ropes,” Hazard said. “It went better than I thought it would — no one got seriouslyinjured.”And the name of the boat?“Don’t have one yet,” he said “I think I’ll leave that up to the family.”.M . . .-Jut * -.rNorman Hazard, left, of Galesville, talks about building his boat as his friend Al Cheri of Shady Side looks on. Hazard hopes to have the boat in the water by July.By Pau* W Gillespie — CapitalThe biggest expansion in AAMC’s history picks up pace.$AAMC has “been there” for the community through the Great Depression, the Great Recession, and many other economic ups and downs over the past 107 years.
