Most recent update: July 28, 2014.

Frank Sample's shipyard was originally established in 1840, by Cyrus McKown. It later became the Townsend Marine Railway and, in 1917, the Atlantic Coast Company. Sample acquired it in 1939 but sold it in 2004. Located at 120 Commercial Street, it is now the Boothbay Harbor Shipyard. See it on Google here.
