Ladies....if you want to be boat builders, and Boatwright's, and shipwrights; do it because you like or love the work and you want to continue to do it. Having to constantly look over your shoulder, to prove to men that you belong will be too exhausting. The real men will accept you for your efforts and skills. The weak men won't even accept other men. Keep on building!! DD
Fantastic video, Jeremy! Such important stories to be told. Thank you! PS. At 9:21 is a photo of me working with Diana. For those who read my essay in Issue #2 of the Port Townsend Maritime magazine... that's the day I was holding the "dumb end of the plank." LOL
Very cool. Very informative. I would not have guessed that so many people had just chosen to do this, as opposed to being born into it or something similar. Very well done piece, and very inspirational women.
Excellent video. There is no reason a woman can't do anything a man can do, and often do it better. Some men are stronger sure, but some men aren't as strong as some women so that doesn't mean anything. There is nothing to prove, just do what you love to do.
Sure, plenty of shipwrights have made their way into the trade without going to a boat building school. It's not an easy path, but if you're set on it, there are ways.
Excellent video. We have wonderful shipwrights here in Maine at the WoodenBoat School😊.

I’m so proud of you gals ladies !!! I worked in the electrical trade it was always nice to see females working in our trade.
Love watching Leo's Tally Ho films showing work around Port Townsend.
I think we all hope the boatyard goes on for a very long time. Nice video!

Such an amazing film - loved hearing the stories of how you all got into boatbuilding, and your encouragement to other women. @womeninboatbuilding

An uplifting video, one I will share, with your permission.
What a great documentary.
