Percy & Small Shipyard, 263 Washington St Bath, Sagadahoc County, ME
The Percy and Small Shipyard was built in 1894, and was comprised of five buildings; a mill and joiners shop (carpenter shop), paint shop, caulking shed, a mould loft, and a building containing a transformer or generator. Some forty-four ships (mostly schooners) were built between 1894 and 1920 including the largest wooden merchant ship to carry the American flag the Wyoming. Also built by Percy and Small was the "Windjammer," the largest wooden ship ever built. The shipyard was restored by the Bath Marine Museum, which acquired the property in 1971. It is probably the only shipyard which built large wooden ships remaining in this country.
