Mark Andrew Stimson Marine Painter
Born in Philadelphia in 1956, Mark Andrew Stimson became a New Englander at the age of two
when his family moved to Woods Hole, Massachusetts. By age three he had signed on with his father on Widgeon, a 28' Herreshoff "S" boat, cruising the waters around Cape Cod and Long Island Sound. Fourteen years and several boats later, Stimson entered the boatbuilding trade, working at boatyards on the Buzzard's Bay side of the Cape. At seventeen, he bought a thirty-two foot cutter, Spoondrift, and single-handed a good portion of the East Coast, finally settling in Virginia to build fishing boats. He worked alongside men in their sixties and seventies who still knew how to build in the traditional ways... with hand planes and lip-adzes, well sharpened each morning. By the end of this apprenticeship he was well acquainted with the form and function of traditional boats.
