Fairhaven Shipyard launches steel dragger
FAIRHAVEN, MA – It was mission accomplished on Sept. 26 as Fairhaven Shipyard and Marina Inc. launched its first newly built steel fish dragger.
Well, launched might not be quite the right word. After being christened, the 83' Elizabeth was moved by Marine Travelift from the spot where she was built to the yard’s launching area and then gently lowered until she just touched the water.
The event marked the culmination of months of hard work, vision, and courage on the part of the Isaksens – Arne, Gail, and Max – and Kevin McLaughlin, the owners of Fairhaven Shipyard. The launch was a great success, and a large crowd showed up to view the historic moment. Afterwards, the shipyard put on an old-fashioned cookout on the premises with hamburgers, hotdogs, shrimp and pasta salad, and a few cold ones on ice there for the taking.
Elizabeth first began to take shape back in January. Work progressed rapidly and quite smoothly considering this was the yard’s first full-fledged construction job.
