provenance.... 1954 Palmer Scott J-Boat

[J_Boat]

I am something of a blasphemer here..... my J-Boat( J-3717 in USACE parlance) was build in 1954 by the Palmer Scott yard in New Bedford, Ma. for the US Army Corp of Engineers. Here's the blasphemy, she's fiberglass. However, because of her vintage and the little have been able to find out about the Palmer Scott yard (they built wooden boats previous to building my J-Boat), I thought a group of wooden-boat-philes might contain a few that knew of or about the yard. I'd be interested in any info about the yard or boat. If you're interested you can see her at here (http://bellsouthpwp.net/g/o/goBoating/) . Any comments/criticisms are welcome.

Thanks

P.S. - I intend to repent and atone for my blasphemy by building a wooden tender in a year or two..... something that will follow nicely behind her.
