Lincolnville Wherry

Kit by Bluejacket

The Lincolnville wherry was a Penobscot Bay rowing boat used in the 1800s to tend salmon nets and bring the catch ashore, built with thin lapstrake planking on curved cedar ribs.

Bluejacket's 1 inch scale kit (KLW206) is based on a surviving wherry in the Penobscot Marine Museum at Searsport, Maine.
