Nice article in the Boston Globe today about the launch of the
schooner Isabella at Harold Burnham's shipyard in Essex, MA. The only
Bolger content that justifies posting it here (aside from general
wooden boat lust) is that it mentions Harold Burnham learned his
boatbuilding from Brad Story, builder of several of the early Bolger
designs.

Also, it's entirely possible that Bolger himself attended the launch,
as Essex is only about 5 miles from Gloucester . . .
