(07/11/07) The dying art of building a boat by hand is still being kept alive by a few talented craftsmen in the North Country. The Hanmer boat shop in Saranac Lake has changed hands twice in its nearly one-hundred-year history and is now called the Woodward Boat Shop, but it's mission remains the same: to build and restore the classic Adirondack guide boat. Today NCPR and TAUNY, Traditional Arts in Upstate New York, continue our look at some very special places in the North Country. Varick Chittenden has visited the boat shop on several occasions and he talked with Joel Hurd about the shop, and the importance of the Adirondack guide boat to the region's history.
