Maine Boatbuilders
Honored with Award
On August 24,
2017, Maine Maritime
Museum honored
Maine boatbuilders
with the 12th annual Mariners Award,
given to an individual or organization
that has made extraordinary
contributions to Maine’s maritime
heritage and signicantly impacted
the state’s culture and economy.
The award was presented to Maine
Built Boats on behalf of all of the
state’s boatbuilders. Jon Johansen,
president of Maine Built Boats,
accepted the award.
Around 150 guests, including
community members, museum
supporters, and boatbuilders,
attended the celebration. Proceeds
from ticket sales and live and silent
auctions will support the museum’s
traditional skills programs.
“We present this award to highlight
how important our maritime culture is
to the state of Maine – and how this
heritage has national signicance.
The state’s boatbuilding industry
is strong, and Maine-built boats
are recognized for their quality all
around the world, because of the
collective eorts of boatbuilders, and
also the yard owners, the suppliers,
and all the related trades necessary
to the industry,” said Amy Lent, the
museum’s executive director.
Previous Mariners Award recipients
include Eimskip USA, William Haggett,
the National Maritime Historical
Society, and the employees
of Bath Iron Works.

Guide to Buying and Servicing Boats in Maine
Welcome to the most capable and
versatile boatyard in northern New
England. Front Street Shipyard in
Belfast, Maine, is a boatbuilder, repair
yard, storage facility and marina on
Penobscot Bay with an expansive
shop space and broad capabilities.
We cater to the needs of every type of
vessel ranging from small recreational
boats to commercial vessels and
superyachts.
We founded Front Street Shipyard
to create a place in Maine where
yachts of all sizes from all over the
world can get the best possible
service and attention. Front Street
Shipyard has deep-water frontage,
state-of-the-art equipment and a
forward-thinking workforce.
The cornerstone of Front Street
Shipyard is our depth and breadth
of experience in boatbuilding,
restoration and rets. In addition
to our Belfast location, we have a
production boatbuilding facility in
Bucksport and a ferry-construction
partnership called Arcadia Alliance.
In 2018 Front Street Shipyard is
expanding with a new 21,700-sq-ft
shed to accommodate even more
vessels for construction and rets.
To our capable team at Front Street
Shipyard, each project is unique and
ripe with possibility. There is only one
consistency maintained throughout
each build and ret: the exceptionally
high quality of the end product, both
aesthetically and functionally.
Whether your boat is 20 or 200
feet, sail or power, commercial or
recreational, bring her to Front Street
Shipyard, where the sky is no limit to
what we can do.

SW Boatworks
is located in
Lamoine, nestled
between Mount
Desert Island,
Ellsworth, and
Downeast Maine.
During the past 17 years, Capt.
Stewart Workman and his highly
skilled crew have constructed custom
sportsshing vessels, commercial
shing boats, Coast Guard-approved
passenger boats, law enforcement
vessels, research vessels, and
pleasure boats. Our experienced
crews coordinate all aspects of the
construction—from the initial layup
to custom design, from hookups to
electrical, from start to custom nish.
An exclusive builder and home of
the Calvin Beal and Young Brothers
boat designs, SW Boatworks chose
to represent these classic boats. Each
boat is unique and needs to exceed
the expectations of each owner.
The Calvin Beal boat design
shows stability, seaworthiness,
and spaciousness. This boat is
known for its handsome strong lines,
beam, and versatility for shing and
cruising. The Calvin Beal is proven by
shermen and enjoyed by yachtsmen.
The Young Brothers boat is
designed for a unique experience—a
lazy afternoon on the hook, racing
across a sun-dappled sea, slipping
o the deck shoes and relaxing,
entertaining guests, or visiting exotic
ports of call on an extended cruise.
The Young Brothers lobster boat
design is powered by a single inboard
diesel engine, which drives the yacht
to perform comfortably.
SW Boatworks believes in building
more than just boats. We are known
for our commitment to each boat, the
statement it makes on the ocean and
the owners it represents.
