Vessel | A Newfoundland Wooden Boat Film

  • From the first instances of human inhabitation on the island of Newfoundland, wooden punts and dories have been crucial facilitators to life on The Rock. Those who called this beautifully rugged land home were able to do so as a direct result of hand built wooden watercraft, fashioned from the land and made for the purpose of existing on the sea. This film follows boat builders and people connected to the craft to learn about how this piece of their heritage is continuing in the modern day. Wooden boats anchor people to place. They are both a vessel to take one out on the water, and a vessel for the stories and experiences that define Newfoundland.

    My father built several boats in his day. As a Newfoundlander I found this film to be captivating!

    What a wonderful video! What wonderful people, doing their best to share masterful skills and memories. Wooden boats, once you’ve had one, nothing else is quite the same.
    Dallas Texas is a long way from Newfoundland, but I love wooden boats all the same.
    My Grandfather gave me my first boat when I was a boy. A little Wagemaker runabout, 16 feet, made by the Seafarer Cabinet co as I recall. How I loved and pampered that beautiful little boat. One night we were caught by a sudden storm. The water became so high, so fast, the wind was blowing every which way.
    While making our way back to the shore, we came upon a big, lazy, sneaky, old tree trunk, that chose to punch a wicked hole, so big, in her side, but I didn’t know that just yet. It was a horrifying sound, wood being twisted and snapped. It was hard at first to understand what exactly had happened, but we were pretty sure it was bad. What we did know though, was that in a very short while, there was a great amount of water where it shouldn’t have been. We chose to get out while the getting was still good. We cinched up our life jackets, and just stepped out into the water. It was a cold rough time. We made it to shore after about two hours.
    I never saw my beautiful little boat again.

      An update; here is a site about the manufacturer Wagemaker.
      I have no idea where I got the Seafarer part, I’m old.
      The one I had doesn’t quite match up with any of the boats shown. Closest is the No.4 Super De Luxe. She was a beauty!

    It was great to see the homes and harbors, the songs and the sages of Newfoundland. I’ve been a few times with my wife from there. This is such a heartwarming and honest portrayal of people and their culture. Jerome Canning is active in Facebook and is a fine ambassador who knows stuff and does things.

    A lovely video.I visited St Johns early this year from Ireland. My son was on a university exchange. It was magical and so beautiful. The people were friendly and welcoming I'm always amazed to hear Irish accents so far from Ireland. This could be Waterford, Ireland yet its Newfoundland. Past immigration has left its mark in culture, language, attitude and boat building. This video captures the spirit of a people in a beautifully telling way.

    I was raised in Botwood, Newfoundland, and my uncle Bruce Hart Had a wooden boat. I called it the putt putt boat. We went on picnics across the bay in his boat. I remember those times very well.

    I met a Newfoundland woman one time here in Ireland and I couldn’t make out where in Ireland she was from because of her accent, theirs a strong relationship between Ireland and their especially when it comes to wooden boats the west coast of Ireland boats have similar lines especially the Donegal teelin punt except for build ours being clinker but very similar lines, great program 👍🏻🇮🇪

    What a brilliant video. Am watching from Ireland where I have my happiest memories of childhood in a homemade boat loosely based on a Newfoundland dory. It was made of plywood from Fords boxes because there was a Ford factory in Cork at the time. Glad to see you are holding on to your heritage and moving with the times to make boatbuilding accessible and affordable to all. Love the accompanying music

    01:06 That sound. Chut chut chut chut...
    The year 1966 my first visit to mothers childhood home. A place of myth and lore, so I thought.
    Now an adult and several brief but priceless visits later, I can articulate the experience.
    My six year old self first heard this music standing near precisely here [ google Maps, 47.258640, -53.956398 ] Stepping out of the car in this strange yet familiar place. My ears caught this sound. From my vantage top the hill the sound clear and calling. I did not know what this sound was from but my soul did and it made me look down towards the water. Thru a narrow path between the trees, a flash of white / green and then only the wake. A BOAT, of course! Goosebumps and a shiver, my soul shouting yes, yes this is it!
    Home.

      @@solobushman All modern ply & strip plank boats are sheathed in epoxy. Many hundreds of thousands are in service there is no air pockets & no way for the moisture to get in if it is sealed. therefore never any condensation. go to any modern boat yard & you will see how it is done. I have a boat I built from cheap construction ply in the 1980s. sheathed in epoxy. It is in the water most of the time & it has zero rot in it.
