The 2007 Portland Wooden boat Show, held at the RiversWest shop at Pier 99 was a great success.
We had lots of boats, both on the water and on land. The
children's boatbuiding tent was a major attraction, and many of the
children as well as their parents, enjoyed sightseeing on the river in
the Hall Templeton. One of the highlights was the electric
version of the barrellback from Edison Electric, a Portland based
company producing these beautiful zero-emission boats. Go to www.edison-marine.com
