Belfast’s French & Webb embarks on major restoration of nation’s presidential yacht ‘Sequoia’ | PenBay Pilot
The historic Presidential yacht Sequoia - which served every one from Hoover to Ford - has arrived in Belfast, Maine for a thorough restoration. The project is expected to take four years according to a report in the Portland Press Herald.
Belfast is a favorite destination of ours - for lunch, walks along its harbor, gazing at boats in the Front Street Shipyard, and visits to the Old Professors Bookshop, and photographer Neil Parent.
One of the gems in the Penobscot Bay town is French & Webb. These master boatbuilders and joiners have done magnificent work as this video of the Herreshoff New York 40 Marilee shows.
