Title
English: N.J. Blanchard and others at Johnson Bros. & Blanchard boatyard, Georgetown, circa 1912
Description
English:

The Blanchard Boat Company was one of the leading yacht builders of Seattle. Founded by N.J. (Norman J.) Blanchard (1885-1954) in 1905, the company built nearly 2,000 boats over its 64-year history, including commercial ships, classic motor cruisers and sailing yachts, some of which are still in use today. Following N.J.'s death in 1954, his son Norman C. Blanchard (1911-2009) took over as head of the yard. Partly due to the growing popularity of fiberglass, the Blanchard shop closed in 1969, as did many of the wooden boat shops in the region. Prior to founding his own boatyard, N.J. Blanchard formed the Johnson Bros. & Blanchard boatyard with his friends Dean and Lloyd Johnson in the Georgetown neighborhood around 1905. This photograph shows Blanchard with the Johnson brothers and another man at the Johnson Bros. & Blanchard yard.
