The Wharf at Lyman Morse
With Maine’s more than 3,500 miles of coastline and 4,600 islands, boat building is essential to the state’s way of life. From sailing vessels to lobster boats, people have needed the means to get out on the water for their livelihood or enjoyment for centuries. Having built over 200 custom boats in their Thomaston yard since the 1920s, Lyman-Morse is integral to the region’s fabric and is considered one of Maine’s top boatbuilding and technology companies.
