Enjoying the season

In honor of the 79th Martha’s Vineyard Fishing Derby that started yesterday, let’s dive into some of the maritime history of the nearby Old Sculpin Gallery.

In 1905, at the age of 26, Manuel Swartz Roberts opened a boat building shop on Edgartown Harbor. An affable character, Roberts drew a crowd of friends, visitors, and clients to his waterfront workshop. Small children who damaged toys, boat owners who required an engine part, and householders who needed advice all gathered here to seek the boat builder’s help. Roberts, known to his friends as “Old Sculpin,” worked out of this ancient cedar shingled building for well over 50 years. He started his career as a carpenter and dabbled in cabinetmaking throughout his life, but he excelled at building catboats and completed 200 during his lifetime.

Catboats were used for many purposes, including fishing, hauling freight, and ferrying passengers. The name “catboat” may come from fishermen having to shoo cats away from the boat after the fish died, or from dock cats greeting returning fishermen.
