Three of Dave Mainwaring's Jonesport lobster boat display models, plank on rib, early construction stages. One in the background is 32+ inch and two hulls in foreground are 17 1/2 inch. Future models will be built with transoms installed with the planking. They were built over male molds.
There are abandoned vintage Jonesport style hulls scattered on the shores. Driving through the area from Corea to Damariscotta, Maine you will sold wooden lobster boats passing away in driveways and fields. You will find some of these boats advertised as 1940's lobster boat available free on Ebay. You will also discover as many cabin and deck arrangements as there a hulls. I have photographed many of boats riding at anchor so model builders can see one t use a guide. http://fishingboats.blogspot.com/

In my search for early Jonesport lobster boats I surface a picture of the bone yard in Jonesport Maine.
