Additional Information
There is often a duality to our existence; it is at once filled with art and poetry but also a severe and unforgiving utility. Working boats such as this one perfectly embody this duality. Beautiful lines and a glistening spider web of rigging speak to our artistic impulses and a yearning for the open ocean. But at the same time these boats are broken, repaired, loaded down with, and surrounded by, the decidedly unromantic equipment of making a living from the sea. - Mark Boedges
