Since I live in the area I am quite familiar with the Thompson boat name and also the Oconto Cruiser name but never knew about the laminating part. I believe those beams were used in the construction of the church I was married in back in '63 in Sturgeon Bay. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

We did stop back and get a picture of our Thompson in front of what is left of the old factory. Bill Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

GREAT!
Hate to admit this but back in '66/67 while I was in Boston my ship was moored next to old ironsides, same pier directly across. Boston Naval shipyard on the Charles river. As polluted that was the ship could be bottomless and it would still float.
All pomp and circumstance. The crew was spit shine and polish 100%
