A.F. Theriault and Son boat builders

This is a great local success story

The family company is now into making Drones for the US navy

and fire fighting boats now used in many harbours around the world.

Boats like this have been made here and continue to be serviced here 

Just about all work in preformed in their yards

Tin works shop on the left and propeller shop on the right are two of the many separate areas

Small slips for lobster fleet servicing

This was the first fire boat made and supplied to Portland Harbour last year

I had the privilege to meet Larry Theriault (his reflection is in my photograph above). His great-grandfather was A.F. Theriault

Larry's son is now an apprentice in the business.

All involved have come up via hands on work at the yards.
