39' Owens Flagship Power Cruiser (1947) - HAVEN

Owens Yacht was started in 1932 by John Charles and Norman Owens in Baltimore, MD. In 1936 the company purchased eight acres of land on Bear Creek in Dundalk, MD, and built a state-of-the-art boat building plant on the site. The Owens brothers studied the mass production techniques of the American Auto Industry and applied them to boat building at Dundalk. In 1957 the company switched from wood to fiberglass construction, and also developed a line of marine V-8 engines. In 1961 Owens was purchased by Brunswick Corporation.
