I chartered the nonprofit Friends of The Boat School in 2005 when The Boat School was still going strong. Or you may know me as the proprietor of a marine supply store and boatyard. Many will remember me as the 2nd year Boatbuilding Technology instructor. Alumni can join our Alumni Alliance.Īs we gather ’round the water barrel – the scuttlebutt – for talk of the day, let’s raise a toast to our future: “The health of the salmon to you, a stout heart, and a wet mouth.” You can help by going to and subscribing to The Scuttlebutt. Now The Boat School is independent and Friends of the Boat School own the Eastport property. The Boat School has seen many changes since the 1970s: from the Calais Armory to the “vo tech” campus, the Lubec Lifesaving Station, and a vacated fish processing plant in Eastport – all under the aegis of state agencies.
Republishing this newsletter of the Maine Marine Technology Center, home of The Boat School, Marine Science Station, and Harborhood Community Center, is now tactically necessary to tell our friends about successes and obstacles, and as a vessel for connecting alumni, building new friendships, and sharing information. In true scuttlebutt fashion, he and a few mates cobbled together a newsletter for the Maine Boatbuilders Show. Hard to fathom that The Scuttlebutt first appeared in the 1970s with boatbuilding instructor Carl Felix at the helm, and was briefly revived by first-year boatbuilding student Matt Murphy, class of 1992 – now station manager of WERU-FM, Blue Hill.
