The photograph is a Whitehall Pulling Boat; a classic rowing craft based on an old New England design. This boat is slightly narrower than the Rangely Lake Boat with a traditional skeg and elegant "wine glass" transom. Noted for being fast, seaworthy, and capable of carrying a large load, Whitehalls were the workhorses of commercial ports in the 19th century. The Whitehall's are fitted with double oarlocks and when rowed in tandem is a quick straight-tracking bullet.
