Construction of the yacht “Glen Burnie” launched October 12, 1946, and dragger “Mother Ann”, launched April 3, 1947. Both were built by Jonathan Story at the Story Shipyard adjacent to Periwinkles. Historic boat building continues at this location today by Harold A. Burnham, whose barn (the left building in this photo) is within view from the restaurant. This historically significant shipbuilding area of Essex, Massachusetts is where Periwinkles Restaurant and Bar is located at 74 Main Street.
