| Historical Significance |
| Emma C. Berry was built in Noank, CT. in
1866 as a well smack. A watertight structure inside the hull allowed
fresh seawater to circulate, keeping the catch alive as it was transported
from the fishing grounds to market. In 1890, she was sold to Maine
fishing interests and abandoned 30 years later. She worked as a coaster
for a short time, but was out of service again in 1931. The Marine
Historical Museum in Mystic, CT. acquired her in 1969, and spent several
years restoring her. Model Shipways' kit is based on drawings and
documentation provided by Mystic Seaport. |
