Phil Erwin, class of 1999 - Current Projects

Currently, I am leading a staff of 16 skilled maritime trade workers. On the staff are Preservation Shipwrights, Preservation Riggers, marine painters, deck hands, , laborers, and two Vessel Captains who operate our Scow Schooner from the Pier. I have two line supervisors who help me establish the direction and tone of our efforts.

I am directly responsible for the preservation and repair of 6 National historic landmark ships (The Full Rig Ship Balclutha, the Steam Ferry Boat Eureka, the Scow Schooner Alma, the Lumber Schooner C.A.Thayer, the Steam Schooner Wapama, and the Steam Tug Boat Hercules) as well as the side wheel steam tug Eppleton Hall, various land-based large maritime artifacts and machines, and the shipwright facilities and warehouses. read more >>
