The photos in this section came from field trips made by the Bates Boatbuilding class to boatyards and other boat-related companies around Puget Sound. Coolidge Propeller is not a boatyard, but it is obviously related to the boat industry. The photos from Mantra Marine came from a visit Patrick Chapman and I made outside class; we had seen Ed Beck’s boats in Kodiak and wanted to see where they were built. The boatyards shown here represent a small fraction of the boatbuilding industry active in the Puget Sound area from Bellingham to Olympia in the 1970s.
