Note

Title supplied by cataloger. Falcon was built by Robert Whittaker for Ivan and Errol Crossman at the former Eldridge boatyard in Noank. Whittaker had leased the yard after the death of Web Eldridge (1944) and used Eldridge molds in constructing the Falcon. She was launched in the spring of 1946 and powered by a Palmer 2R3, 30 horsepower engine. She had a built-in live well amidships and was used for lobstering and dragging. John Whittaker (son of Robert) purchased Falcon in 1974.
