Just a few miles from The Shipyard is the famous sail loft of Nathaniel S. Wilson in East Boothbay.  We visited last week to see progress underway on the first sails being constructed.  It would be difficult to find a famous tall ship or schooner without at least a few Wilson sails on board.  His work has traveled the globe, and it is easy to see why.  Utilizing a custom blend of cloth that he developed himself for use on these exact vessels, Nat is just the person to be building these special sails.
