For decades, he has photographed fishermen, their work, and their boats, and in that work, has come to see their way of life as finite and fleeting. His images document that lifestyle and offer a window into Maine’s working waterfronts and ...

    “Orca” The boat from Jaws was a Novi Cape islander converted originally from when it was called the warlock. I don’t know who the builder was but it was used in 1974 for the filming of Jaws.

    And it most likely was a man who designed the clothing and bustles (think the French couturier Worth during the Regency Period)! You can’t tell me that any woman willingly designed such an instrument of torture called the corset!

    • @TheSewphisticate
      @TheSewphisticate Před 5 měsíci

      While popular media certainly sensationalized corsets and corset-wearing, creating a plethora of myths ranging from regular fainting beauties to rib-removal, we assure you the intended purpose of corsets was much more practical. As boned support garments, corsets were much like the modern brassiere and intended to support the bust and back for a full day’s work. When fashions required wearing multiple, heavy skirts, corsets also distributed the weight and kept waistbands from digging into a woman’s side. They could provide gentle shaping to the figure as well, again like our modern elastic shapewear, but the reduction was minimal and additional padding was employed to create the illusion of smaller waists. When custom-fit to the wearer, corsets should be comfortable! Occasionally, women could have tight-laced, but that was reserved for special occasions, (think like wearing stilettos today), and only reduced the figure by a few inches - too much strain on a corset would break the garment, before it harmed the wearer!

    I think the culture was different then. They had a very professional idea of what should or should not be in the log book. I'm sure marriages would also not be in the log book. Only thing I think they might have included was the death of a passenger.

    • @PenobscotMarineMsm
      @PenobscotMarineMsm Před 10 měsíci

      Yes, the logbook was the official record of the voyage and many stick to professional observations. However, some logs (and charts!) in our collection do include personal experiences, such as the leather-bound logbook of the ship STATE OF MAINE from September 6, 1896-April 17, 1898 kept by Henry Griffin Curtis. It includes the ship leaking badly in a gale, not making progress across the equator, son George is on board and catching fish, has purple stamp "* Opened. Crew. Beef *", celebrating his 46th birthday, Manila stowaways, sending mail ashore by bumboatmen, steward confronted mate with a knife, adventures of daughter Hope and Miss Gordon (may be Grace Gordon, his second wife) making desserts and being seasick, and Hope's 16th birthday.

    I think John's Bay built a wooden boat for I guy I was renovating a couple homes for on Greening Island at Southwest Harbor back in the late 80's. It was a beautiful lobster style boat but decked out inside, powered with a Volvo IB. It was never to be used as a lobster boat when this guy owned it except for the few traps I pulled. I thought he paid to much @ $200k but she was something special that is for sure.

    I lived on a boat in the 70s-80s that was built in '46 at the Sample yard in Boothbay. While it had more cabin space and headroom, it had lines similar to some of these boats. It was built for a family named Bradley, and they were tall.

    As I watch the video, I'm looking around at all the models on his workbench, each one a work of art, and an investment of many, many hours of very careful, meticulous craftsmanship. And I expect he took up model making after a lot of years of building full-sized boats. Quite a man.

The project was originally released in 2005 as an interactive DVD by filmmaker Juliet Brown and this is its public release. Juliet was inspired to interview these builders after building a Matinicus Island Peapod herself at the Apprenticeshop of Rockland in 2000.
