About the Author:
Willits Ansel is a retired boatbuilder and author who lives in Georgetown, ME. He worked at the Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard at Mystic Seaport for many years, researching and building whaleboats, dories, seine boats and ships' boats. Walt Ansel is a senior shipwright at Mystic Seaport. As a boat/ship rebuilder and restorer he has worked on various projects, including the whaleship Charles W. Morgan. Walt has taught at the WoodenBoat School in Brooklin, ME for fifteen years and currently teaches the John Gardner boatbuilding classes at Mystic Seaport. Evelyn Ansel grew up and around the water in Mystic, CT. She graduated from Brown University in 2012 in B.A. in visual arts and the history of art and architecture.
Review:
The new edition of The Whaleboat reflects this extraordinary three-generation lineage. Walter has contributed an informative chapter on construction details gleaned from the 2002 project. Evelyn contributed a chapter about the extraordinary 2012-13 effort by nine different institutions to build ten new whaleboats in cooperation with Mystic Seaport to help out the Morgan as part of its-completed restoration. During the summer of 2014, those whaleboats accompanied the ship on its 38th Voyage, leaving Mystic for the first time since 1941 to sail to historic whaling entrepots of New England. --Woodenboat, reviewed by Tom Jackson
