Shipbuilders of Essex.
Summary
This 1947 film documents the work of traditional wooden shipbuilding in Essex, Massachusetts, by following the creation of the 65-foot fishing trawler “St. Rosalie” from plans on paper to the launching ceremony. The hand-made methods depicted are similar to 19th century techniques used when Essex was a leading supplier of wooden sailing vessels for Atlantic fishing communities
