The Gannon & Benjamin Marine Railway, located on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, must be a pretty amazing place. In July of 2010, we reviewed Schooner – Building a Wooden Boat on Martha’s Vineyard, which was about building a schooner at the Gannon & Benjamin yard. Now we have learned of a documentary about another wooden boat built at Gannon & Benjamin. The documentary is decribed as “a meditation on tradition, craftsmanship, family, community, our relationship to nature, and the love of the sea.” The trailer for Charlotte – A Wooden Boat Story:
