Description:

Whitehall rowboats are considered one of the most refined rowboats of the 19th century. They were first made in the U.S. at the foot of Whitehall Street in New York City to be used to ferry goods, services, and sailors on and off the boats coming into New York Harbor.

With centuries of history and tradition behind it, this 12 Foot Row Boat is specially built using a clinker method where the edges of hull planks overlap each other. This technique developed in northern Europe and was successfully used by the Anglo-Saxons, Frisians, Scandinavians, and typical for the Hanseatic cog. We aim at recreating the past while using the best materials and technology available today to offer you an experience like no other.

Truly, at least 600-700 hours have been invested in the creation of this watercraft. We leave nothing to chance as perfection is the only option we allow.

A Whitehall clinker-built rowboat is a unique and classic watercraft that combines the elegance of a Whitehall rowboat with the traditional clinker construction method. Whitehall rowboats, historically associated with the Whitehall district of New York City, are renowned for their graceful lines, versatility, and efficient rowing capabilities.

The clinker construction method, also known as lapstrake, involves overlapping planks along the hull, creating a distinctive appearance and providing strength to the boat. This construction style is a hallmark of traditional boatbuilding, and when applied to a Whitehall rowboat, it adds a touch of heritage and craftsmanship.

The combination of the Whitehall design and clinker construction results in a rowboat that not only glides smoothly through the water but also boasts a strong and durable hull. The overlapping planks create a robust structure that can withstand the rigors of rowing in various water conditions.

Craftsmen and boatbuilders may choose clinker construction for a Whitehall rowboat to pay homage to traditional techniques while also ensuring a reliable and resilient vessel. The combination of a timeless design and time-tested construction methods results in a rowboat that stands out both in terms of aesthetics and performance.

Whether used for recreation, racing, or simply exploring serene waterways, a Whitehall clinker-built rowboat represents a harmonious blend of tradition and functionality. As enthusiasts and skilled artisans continue to appreciate and revive traditional boatbuilding techniques, the Whitehall clinker-built rowboat remains a testament to the enduring appeal of classic watercraft.
