J.E. Swain

I am looking for the address, phone, email of the boat builder J.E. Swain on the Eastern Shore. Any help??

He built the Schooner Sultana in Chestertown a few years back; you may have luck tracking John down through that group. They're at www.schoonersultana.org. (http://www.schoonersultana.org.)

I too was recently looking for John as I had recently purchased a boat he built in 1973. So I went to Chestertown, asked about the Sultana and was directed to the Sultana shop / Museum which is the home base of the schooner.
I walked in and there was John. He was eager to hear about the condition of one of his boats - wondering what had failed in 30 years since he built her. Fun to catch up with him.
I hear he has a new project he is building in Chestertown. So although I don't have his number, I would recommend calling the Sultana Museum or try good old directory assistance in Chestertown. Good luck.
