Frank S. Bowker & Sons
Phippsburg ME
Most recent update: May 11, 2016.
Frank Bowker was actually the second generation of Bowkers building ships in Phippsburg, but the first to get the business organized. Starting in 1890, he and his sons built ships over the next 30 years, including some of the U.S,' finest four-masters. Their first yard was at the junction of Stoney Brook Road and Highway 209, an impossible location from which they soon moved to deeper water near Phippsburg Center.
