Wooden boat project

Here's someone's wooden boat restoration/rebuild project, located at Stonington Maine. The center portion of the hull seems to be original and intact, but the ribs and sheathing at both the bow and stern are being replaced. We guessed that it might have been a sardine carrier but it's hard to tell.. Looks like it would need a lot of wood and an enormous amount of work...

Bawdy as it sounds, I believe the technical term for what we're looking at is "sistered futtocks."

But don't say that outside the boatyard.

Futtocks they are indeed!
