East Boothbay

East Boothbay is a working village on the Damariscotta River, where a small harbour has been ringed by shipyards for two centuries. It grew up around a tidemill owned by Caleb Hodgdon, a shipbuilder who settled here in the 1820s and handed out house lots to draw other boatbuilders; for a time the place was simply called Hodgdons Mills. The Hodgdon family's boatbuilding, dated by the company to 1816, continues today as Hodgdon Yachts, and it was their yard that built the schooner Bowdoin in 1921 for Arctic explorer Donald MacMillan. Other yards, from Goudy & Stevens to Washburn & Doughty, have turned out fishing schooners, yachts and tugboats along the same shoreline, keeping the village's trade in wood, steel and composites very much alive.

Our solid hardwood cribbage boards are modeled with actual topographic data to capture any place on earth. Each board has a storage space for three sets of metal pegs behind a custom-etched stainless steel door. Boards measure roughly 350mm (13.5”) long by 190mm (7.5") wide by 90mm (3.5”) tall and are finished with tung oil for durability and a slight sheen. Additional options include a custom message or logo etched on the stainless steel door tag (32 characters max, +$10), and an engraved name, message or logo on the side or underside of the board (+$20 standard, +$40 with a contrasting filler). Side and underside engraving is sized to fit the board, typically no taller than 1 inch (25 mm). For a logo, send us a PNG through our contact form after you order, with your order number.

Our products are designed, crafted, and finished in Alberta, Canada.
