5000 Boats Built by One Man.

Andy Linton of Vancouver, B. c.,
has built up to date 5000 boats. and
though he is referred to as the oldest
boat builder in Canada he will likely
add another thousand to his record
before he makes his final cruise. He
does not build ocean liners, but gold
prospectors' boats and fishing smacks.
He has built about one boat day for
the last twenty-five years. He has a
little sawmill and a few workmen, but
