We have built landing craft with both flat bottomed hulls and modified vee hulls, the latter hulls being much the same as the modified vees listed previously. Several examples are shown. The first two L/C built had flat bottoms, viz. the Misery Island launch LCLM (landing craft lawn mower) which services Misery Island off Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA. This is a 25 X 8 foot boat designed by Phil Bolger. It was followed by a blunt bow Rowley Skiff 22 X 7.5 which is used to service Thacher Island off Rockport, MA. This was a modification of the Rowley Skiff which we refer to as the Thacher Island Model.
