SUMMARY:From Italy to Noank:  The Wooden Boats and Lasting Legacy of Salvatore “Frank” Bracci
DESCRIPTION:Born in Pesaro\, Italy in 1878\, Frank Bracci immigrated to the United States in the early 1900s and established a remarkable 54-year career as an esteemed master wooden boat builder and ship carpenter in Noank. Frank built his own boat shop at Morgan’s Point in 1913 and later purchased the old Pendleton Yard in Mystic\, where he hand-crafted numerous catboats\, lobster boats\, cruisers\, and schooners. Over the decades he produced several iconic local vessels\, most notably the commercial draggers BABY I and BABY II for the Bacchiocchi brothers\, and the 60-foot MANDALAY. Beyond his significant maritime legacy\, Frank was an active member of the local Noank community and a family man. He and his wife\, Emma\, had six children\, all of whom were born in Noank\, and many of their descendants still live locally. Join us on Wednesday\, November 18 for a panel discussion and remembrances of his remarkable life and career.
