Governor to visit burned boatyard

By Giselle Goodman July 15, 2008 09:34 AM

Gov. John Baldacci will be in Boothbay around 1 p.m. today to view the wreckage of the Washburn & Doughty Associates boatyard, destroyed by fire on Friday.

The governor plans to meet with Washburn & Doughty officials and members of the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development and the Maine Department of Labor. During the meeting, the officials will discuss what might be done to help employees of the company, now virtually shut down by the blaze.

Meanwhile, officials have determined that the fire was caused by the sparks from a cutting torch.
