JOE DAYTON ’S SAWMILL
This is the new location of the Tuckerton Wooden Boat Building and Restoration School. The Wooden Boat Building and Restoration School provides the Seaport the chance to expand upon this history with the preservation and restoration of many styles of boats so that we may fully represent the long maritime tradition boating building techniques of the Barnegat Bay region. These building techniques and time honored traditions came to personify the residents of the small towns along the bay’s coastline as these boats were built by the average man rather then manufacturers. Today the construction of these boats represents the recreation of times gone by. The Tuckerton Seaport and the Wooden Boat Building and Restoration School are working together as collaborative partners for the preservation of maritime history and the environmental awareness of the Barnegat Bay . Mr. Tim White is the schools director and shipwright.
