Half Hull, Buy Boat, Small

Description: Buy Boats were “go between” motorized vessels on the Bay throughout the 1900’s, buying the harvest (oysters, crabs, fish) from the watermen and powering the goods back to the docks, allowing watermen to maximize their harvesting efforts. Buy Boats were 45’ to 84’ in length, wooden construction, with a mast and boom for handling the cargo. Few Buy Boats remain on the Bay today. Our half hull Buy Boat is cast polyresin, hand painted and mounted on a mahogany-stained hardwood display board.

Dimensions: Boat is 4” long. Display board is 5” long X 2.25” high.

Part Number: HHBB-S
