Mrs. Saufler's fourth grade class from Georgetown, Maine chose category 6: Local Specialities to share and unite our community with the world. Through telephone and/or letter invitations we invited community members to our classroom. We interviewed eight people and we learned about the fascinating art of boat building common to our community on the coast of Southern Maine. After many days of interviews and hands - on experiences in the art of boat building, we wrote our web pages.

We are amazed about the new knowledge we now have about boat building in our area. Each boat builder we talked with taught us new facts.We learned many lessons. We learned that to be a boat builder you must have a burning passion for this work, that it comes from the heart, that it takes vision, and practice!

We hope you enjoy learning about the intriguing art of boat building that we discovered as we met new and exciting friends from our community. This entire experience has been one discovery, lesson, and surprise after another! And we aren't stopping here!
