Harold Burnham in Essex, MA. I'm just curious. I met hime years ago when he used to have an exhibit about boatbuilding at the local fair. Seemed a nice guy and looks to have built some impressive boats.

Here's an article about him.

IIRC he may have had a hand in restoring Howard Blackburn's Great Republic.
