Double enders of all sizes were built on the coast, large ones called pinkies; there were double ended Hampton boats; perhaps better to think of these the way the late Sam Manning did, New England boats. From the evidence of the 1880s peapods were specific to the symmetrical double enders developed for the rowing lobster fishery in the Penobscot Bay Islands.

This was the boat that Jon Wilson built before starting WoodenBoat. Wicked stable; I’ve stood on the mast thwart with the mast in place.
