The historic US Coast Guard Boathouse arrived back home in Stage Harbor on Tuesday, March 24th and was hoisted onto its new foundation at 90 Bridge Street on Wednesday, March 25th.
The arrival and placement of the structure, after 20 years away, was met with great enthusiasm and many witnesses who staked out the shoreline around Stage Harbor and the east side of the Mitchell River Bridge.
The Town thanks Dave Dougherty and Jay Cashman for their unwavering belief that this day would come, Town Meeting voters for their support of the re-purposing of the Boathouse into a new shellfish upweller, and to our project partners GEI Consultants, Inc, Pomroy Associates, and Robert B. Our Marine for making this very special delivery possible.
Work to renovate and repurpose the facility as the Town’s new shellfish upweller will now begin on site.
