Abstract:

Macajah Adams, a Salter Path native, worked as a carpenter and shipbuilder during the first half of the 19th century. Adams’ workspace was his yard; utilizing local juniper and cypress woods, he constructed vessels without the aid of blueprints. Once finished, boats were launched into Bogue Sound and outfit with motors and electrical systems.
