CAPT. JAMES LAWRENCE, Yacht Tender by Lawley

The Lawley tender was designed and built in 1907 by George Lawley at Neponset, Massachusetts as a tender for the schooner yacht, BLACKWING.  This carvel-planked 12’ tender was loaned to Mystic Seaport for measuring. As might be expected, she is a bit more heavily built than Lawley's rowing tenders and a good bit wider in the transom.  From 87 Boat Designs by Ben Fuller.    The Great Lakes Boat Building School built a boat using these plans.  Plans were drawn by Mystic Seaport staff, 1995-1996.
