I know my boats south Chesapeake Bay and North Carolina Sounds, up your way very little experience . On the Bay used to be you could spot which yard a work boat came from soon as you saw it, now most are plastic. Still distinctive Just not as much variety .
Worked on the waterfront my whole life. Years ago Captain on one of our ships John Wilbur from Noank Conn wanted to build a new Sword-fisherman lofted her in his,cabin on a Far East Voyage. Came into Norfolk asked me if I could get some North Carolina Juniper. Bought a truck load for him and shipped it to Mystic. Couple years later he showed me the Finished Boat, Classic New England Lobster/Sword Fisherman long Bow Pulpit and all.
Be nice to pin down that Parker engraving.
