New England Disabled Sports Fishing Program Launches The American

New England Disabled Sports Fishing Program has launched a 26' fishing boat, The American, for Wounded Warriors of the U.S. Military, their caregivers and all individuals with disabilities.

The craft, to be based in Portsmouth, NH, was donated by Work Vessels for Veterans, and a number of individuals worked to prepare it for its new mission. The entire project is, indeed, one of New England's treasures.
