Dear Friends of The Calendar of Wooden Boats,

It is a great privilege to bring Benjamin Mendlowitz’s marine photography to your homes with The Calendar of Wooden Boats, published annually since 1983. Noah Publications, which produces the Calendar, is a small, family-owned business committed to providing a quality product to our loyal customers. While that mission remains the same, we write to let you know that we are currently undergoing a transition.

Benjamin, whose award-winning marine photography has set the standard for images of wooden boats for decades, has been battling health issues in the past year that have kept him off of the water and out of the office. While we are expecting a full recovery, Benjamin and the rest of the team at Noah Publications will be stepping back from the day-to-day operations of Calendar orders and distribution.

The 2024 Calendar, featuring Benjamin’s hand-selected photos, has been printed and is nearly ready for purchase. During this transition period we are partnering with our cross-town friends at WoodenBoat Publications, who will be processing and fulfilling orders. If you previously ordered your calendar from our website or over the phone, you may now do so through The WoodenBoat Store (WoodenBoatStore.com). The Calendar of Wooden Boats has always been a local operation in coastal Brooklin, Maine—from Maynard Bray’s writing to Sherry Streeter’s design—and we are glad to continue that tradition with WoodenBoat.

We plan to keep producing The Calendar of Wooden Boats for the foreseeable future. As always, thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
