Bell Boatyard : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bell Boatyard The Bell Boatyard was a boatbuilding facility which operated as part of Alexander Graham Bell’s laboratories in Baddeck, Nova Scotia from 1885 to 1928. The boatyard built experimental craft, lifeboats and yachts during the first part of the twentieth century. The Bell yard was notable for its dual focus on both experimental and traditional boats and for its employment of large numbers of female boatbuilders.〔(Rick McGraw, "Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) the Boat Builder", ''Classic Boat'' Spring 2012, Issue 113, p. 24 )〕 == Creation ==
The laboratories and boatyard were located on the large estate that Dr. Bell acquired in 1885. Dr. Bell bought a large portion of a peninsula that jets out into the Baddeck Bay and named the estate Beinn Bhreagh. The 600 acre estate was originally built as a summer residence, but was later used year round by the Bell family.〔Eber, Dorothy Harley.''Genius at Work: Images of Alexander Graham Bell''. Halifax, NS, CAN: Nimbus Publishing,1991. Print〕 From the beginning the estate including laboratory facilities and a boathouse which grew in size to match Bell's interests and later wartime needs. The laboratories located on Beinn Bhreagh were used for various experiments Dr. Bell created. These included his tetrahedral kites, sheep farming, manned aerial flights and development of hydrofoils. The laboratories employed carpenter, plumbers, engineers, boatbuilders and unskilled labourers. At its peak it employed 40 people working on air and water craft, both experimental and traditional.〔(Rick McGraw, "Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) the Boat Builder", ''Classic Boat'' Spring 2012, Issue 113, p. 23 )〕
