These three boats were Hall-built. The Montrose was built for Dave Collins, shown in the bow of the boat. The owner of the Bay Queen was Will Hall (standing in his boat) who was recognized as the best sailor on the bay. Sailing the Shamrock, Will once outsailed his father, Greg, much to his dad's chagrin.140

Other builders contributed to the fleet but not to the extent of the Halls. Some are known, some are not. Here at the Walton wharf (on the south shore of the bay) is moored a boat belonging to John McLellan. Note the motor installed well aft.One boat in existence today is a boat built by Perc Densmore in the early forties. This is another Seagull and is in Aubrey Scott's boathouse in Noel.

When the photo was taken, this inlet moored seven boats. Erosion had destroyed much of the shoreline. The boathouse on the left was moved to the farm we see in the background and is used as a storage shed. Lily was so named because she was all white. She is twenty-one feet long. At the tiller is Putnam Hennessy, at the bow is Robert Hennessy, son Graham and wife Sadie.149
