Wooden Boat Women > Felicity Ann, Ann Davidson's history making yacht

The first woman to cross the Atlantic in 1953 was Ann Davidson. Her boat, a 22 foot double ended sloop called Felicity Ann (the name of the boat when fate brought them together) carried her safely across the Atlantic and was the subject of her book My Ship is So Small. The boat is under restoration in Sitka Alaska.

Update: March 2009! The boat is now at the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Port Hadlock. Plans are underway for Felicity Ann to be restored in Small Boat Restoration class in 2010. To sign up go to: www.nwboatschool.org.
