This is the hull of the Lewis H. Story. The Essex Historical Society and Shipbuilding Museum commissioned Harold Burnham (an 11th generation shipwright in Essex) to build this Chebacco style boat as their flagship. Chebacco boats are an American Revolution style two-masted vessel developed in Chebacco, the first name of Essex. The Lewis H. Story was named in honor of an Essex shipwright, carver, designer, modeler, researcher and maritime historian. It's up on blocks right now getting prepped for the season.
