Lyman Morse with newest location at former Wayfarer in Camden, where our speaker Robert Light is manager, has various divisions including boat building, advanced composites, which just completed the steeple for the clock tower on the Chestnut Street Church in Camden, metal and plastics fabrication and solar power (technologies and prototyping) used by military and other customers beyond the marine environment, including solar cubes and “living modules”. Their core operation remains boat building and repair. 3% unemployment is presenting them with challenges in the work force area, and they continue to participate in wooden boats, with a Stephens-Waring designed, cold-molded project in the barn in Thomaston now.
Camden’s Lyman Morse location has 850’ dockage, slips up to 55’ moorings, travel lift and boat hoists and now also the Rhumb Line bar/restaurant. 40-47 employees, including 38 full time, 60 or so in Thomaston, so over 100 between the two yards.
