Welcome to Episode 3 of Oscar Lay's Lyman: Restoring the Gull!
Join us in Sandusky, Ohio, as we explore the rich history of the Lay Brothers Fisheries. Bob Grimm and Molly Sampson take us back to the 1830s, when commercial fishing began on Lake Erie. Learn about John Lay Sr., who, along with his brothers, turned their one-person fishing business into a booming enterprise that thrived even during the Great Depression.
In the restoration workshop, witness the intricate process of chroming vintage parts and removing planks that have been in place for 80 years. Every step is taken with care to preserve the boat's original craftsmanship.
The Maritime Museum of Sandusky is leading this project, but we need your help! Support us to ensure future generations can enjoy the beauty and history of the Gull. sanduskymaritime.org/gull/
