Lyman Morse Boat Building, Inc.

Lyman Morse is a custom boat building yard on the coast of Maine with a distinguished history. For over a century, as the Morse Boatbuilding yard, graceful Alden Malabar Schooners and sturdy Friendship sloops slid down the ways at the facility located in Thomaston. In 1978, the boat building company was sold to Cabot Lyman who then formed Lyman Morse, which then expanded its focus to produce a variety of exceptional custom sailing yachts and custom motor yachts for world class navel architects and discriminating owners. Lyman Morse has developed a 200-year tradition of shipbuilding, fine craftsmanship, individualism, and pride to the area. Of the 100 workers at the yard, most have made a lifetime career of fine boat building and are third, fourth, and fifth generation shipwrights and custom boat builders.
