14' Whitmore North Haven Peapod (2024)

Built at The Apprenticeshop in Midcoast Maine!

Based on the techniques used by Alton Whitmore of North Haven in the early 1900’s, this peapod is uniquely constructed right-side up with pre-bent frames and without the use of molds in the set up. Similar to the old Whitehall method, the sheer­ strake, the binder, and the interior structure go in the boat before it is planked.

The oak plank used for the keel is steam bent-to take the required amount of rocker, and the boat will be carvel planked in cedar atop oak frames. Our goal is to better understand the process Whitmore used to efficiently build peapods and round bottom skiffs.
