Afloat on the Tide

Wooden Dinghies, Prams, Skiffs and Other Rowboats

All along the Atlantic coast, from Newport to Nova Scotia, there are charming harbors that beckon you with names such as Sorrento, Friendship, Roque Bluffs, Seal Cove, Fishers Landing, and Birch Harbor.

Dinghies are a mainstay of these harbors.

These small boats, including prams, skiffs, and tenders, can be very rudimentary in their design or works of exceptional craftsmanship.

Dinghies remain at the ready, in service to their owners.

They provide safe passage between the docks, floats, and shore and the lobster boats, yachts, and other large craft moored in the deeper waters of the harbor. The wooden dinghy is symbolic of the people and landscape of these coastal regions: hard working, pragmatic, picturesque, and rugged.
