ANNIE, St. Lawrence River Skiff

ANNIE came to Mystic Seaport's col­lection in 1980.   Built by Bain at Clayton, New York, she is a fancy fish­ing skiff, with seats inlaid with cedar and butternut, butternut coamings, and birds-eye maple covering boards. At 140 pounds, she is lighter than most similar-sized skiffs, and has a little less deadrise than some.  From 87 Boat Designs by Ben Fuller.
