The Lewis H. Story.
Chebacco Boats were built by the hundreds not only in Essex, but in other coastal towns as well.
Typically, they measured between 22 and 30 tons and averaged from 24 to 48 feet in length, had two masts and no bowsprit.
They were usually a flush-deck vessel with several cockpits, or “standing rooms” in which the fishermen stood to fish. A middle hatch gave access to the fish hold.
