at Ship's Quarters was built by Olaf Edwards, a Norwegian immigrant who arrived in the Bayfield area in 1898. Originally built as a home for his family, he and his wife Jenny raised 5 children here. The challenges of Lake Superior presented new opportunities for Olaf Edwards. With his homeland skills and steady hands, Olaf built low slung, broad beamed, shallow drafted long boats that fished the waters off Bayfield and the Apostle Island National Lakeshore. In a standing shed on Bayfield's eastern waterfront, Olaf built the Northland, the first of many sail rigged double enders of his own construction using native oak, cedar, and pine. The Jenny E was later built in honor of his wife. Here is another picture of Jenny Edwards. Olaf and Jenny retired to Madeline Island in the 1940's. There he created, in miniature, the same ships of sailing; three of which are shown here. His woodworking knowledge and skills were superb, but sadly, many of his creations have been lost.
