1900 1910 Adirondack Guide Boat Preservation Launches 10 10 2019

Welcome to our very first Adirondack Guide Boat preservation project. She was last worked on in the 1980s by Carl Hathaway who executed a comprehensive restoration in his shop in Saranac Lake, NY. (Hathaway dated this Guide Boat as from the first decade of the Twentieth Century.) Hathaway was born in 1930 and he died in 2011. Here is what can be learned about him from localwiki.org (https://localwiki.org/hsl/Carl_Hathaw... Carl Hathaway was the son of Albert Hathaway. He made and restored guideboats in the shop at 7 Algonquin Avenue, now 3 Hanmer Avenue, where he had learned the craft from the late Willard Hanmer, one of its masters. He was the fourth generation of guideboat builders to work in the small shop. He was also a guide and caretaker for nearly fifty years at the Gull Bay Camp on Upper Saranac Lake. With Ralph Morrow, he taught a course in Guideboat building for North Country Community College in the 1980s. The Adirondack Council granted him the Distinguished Achievement Award for his efforts to pass the traditional craft along to a new generation of boat builders. Her carrying yoke went missing somewhere along the way. Chris Woodward, Woodward Boat Shop in Saranac Lake, NY, the last operating Adirondack Guideboat shop, is fabricating a new one for her owners. For having been restored 30+ years ago, this guideboat, and, as related by her owners, having had extensive use during that time, she is in remarkable condition. However, those decades have taken their toll on her finish, which is the focus of our, or I should say RJ’s preservation project. He began scrubbing what will eventually be every surface clean and to a matte finish using Scotch Brite pads. Once she is completely sanded, he will apply 3 – 5 coats of Sikkens Cetol Marine, inside and out. Stay tuned for project updates…..
