emma C. Berry The Emma C. Berry was built in Noank, Connecticut in 1866. This type of vessel was known as a “Noank Smack.” Smacks like the Emma C. Berry contain a live well, which is a watertight structure built inside the vessel. Within the well, holes drilled in the bottom of the boat allowed fresh seawater to circulate; this way, live fish and lobsters could be transported from the fishing grounds to market. In keeping with her original design, the Emma C. Berry kit is a true plank-on-frame model, using beech and basswood for strips and beams. The keel and ribs are laser-cut, and deadeyes and blocks are walnut. Kit also contains more than 50 yards of black and gray (standing & running) rigging line. Model Shipways kit contains laser cut wooden parts, basswood hull planking strips and wood stock for launching ways. A host of finely cast Britannia metal fittings and anchor shank. Brass is used for eyebolts, rings, chain and wire. Walnut blocks and deadeyes come in five sizes, and 50 yards of black and gray line are provided for accurate rigging. Four sheets of plans and 40 page instruction manual by kit designer and naval architect Ben Lankford record every detail of construction.
