Boatbuilders in or near Wanchese NC

In addition to the other yards listed here, there is a small forest of boatyards in Wanchese NC and the nearby communities of Manteo and Manns Harbor. Some of these companies may be pretty small, but collectively they constitute quite a significant local industry. Their names are linked to their web sites, where they have them. The names of the boats and of their owners are those currently listed by the Coast Guard: I'm sure there have been changes from the original names. If anyone can add to or correct this table, please send your info to timcolton@aol.com
