The Boatshop

The Norm Hutt Boatshop (1950) was originally located in Owls Head, adjacent to the government wharf. It is a typical example of the small wooden buildings used to construct inshore fishing boats for local fishermen. Such buildings were usually quite simple, located close to the shore with large doors at one, and often both ends, to allow boats to be easily hauled in and out.

Inside the Boat Shop are the handtools used by Norm Hutt, along with boat building materials and a replica of an inshore fishing boat under construction.
