Trinity , Newfoundland and Labrador

Enter

shipbuilding into a life-long
career.
   
   Henry's shipyard closed
in 1990 after operating for
twenty-six years. He did not
give up making boats, as he
continued to construct them
as a pastime and spends his
winters making model boats.

In 2009, he began the
construction of a traditional
wooden schooner.
