Maine has a long, proud history of producing boats and ships. The state is home to many small boatbuilders such as Back Cove Yachts, Hinckley Yachts, Hodgdon Yachts and Sabre Corp. It’s also home to large ship builders such as Bath Iron Works.
That manufacturing heritage stretches back several hundred years to the days when wooden clippers, schooners and other tall ships were a common sight along the rocky shores of the Northeast.
