VERNON LANGILLE
A crowd gathered at the Apprentice Shop at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath on July 7, 1979, to see the launch of the largest boat built to date at that shop. The VERNON LANGILLE was a 35 ft. recreation of a Tancook whaler, a type of schooner developed on Tancook Island, near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, about 1880. The boat was named for an elderly Tancook boat builder, who advised the students.
