Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Warren Boat Yard

Warren RI

As far as I can tell from the sparse records, the Warren Boat Yard which was active during WWII was established in 1939 on the site of Alder Manufacturing. One of the founders of Warren BY was Ernest E. Alder, of Alder Manufacturing, who, earlier in his career, had been the Wood Superintendent at Herreshoff Manufacturing. Warren Boat Yard closed after the war and its entire output appears to have been the eight boats listed below.
