PALMER SCOTT & COMPANY

New Bedford MA

Most recent update: November 14,2015.
Palmer Scott was an MIT-trained naval architect who started in boatbuilding in 1935, in the former William Hand yard in Fairhaven MA.  The yard burned down in 1936, however, and Scott moved his operation to New Bedford, where it stayed until it was destroyed by Hurricane Carol in 1954.  The yard was at the foot of Logan Street, on the Acushnet River: see it from the air on Google here.  If anyone can add to the table below, please send your info to timcolton@aol.com.
