Family History Videos collaborated with historian Todd Warger for seven years to research, film and produce a landmark documentary project that has preserved a major story of personal and industrial accomplishment. Family History Videos provided all production aspects including filming, editing, special effects and movie film transfers. The musical score was created by Dustin Hahn specifically for the film and narration was provided by Brian Griffin.

Wooden Ships & Fiberglass Boats: A. W. Talbot and the Bellingham Shipyards 1941–1963 is the story of Seattle entrepreneur Archibald W. Talbot, a man with no knowledge of boats, or ship construction, yet who built the largest privately owned shipyard in the nation. He was a man of great integrity, much beloved by his employees, invoking the best principals of American ideals during his era
Bellingham Shipyards was a prime example of the hundreds of small community shipyards born out of the turbulent years of the Second World War, and the progressive period during the Korean Conflict, constructing wooden support vessels for the navy. Lasting only a few years, only a handful of these yards lasted long enough to have a comprehensive history documenting their heroic deeds, but were instrumental in the growth and prosperity of our nation. The film also examines the pioneering of the Bell Boy Boat Company started by Talbot in 1952, making Bellingham the first to bring a line of plastic fiberglass boats to the nation, changing the boating world forever!

This is the untold story of one of those small yards, located in a small, unknown community, lead by an unknown individual. Over fifty years since, the story is told by family members and former employees; the oldest living congressman of the World War II era; a pioneer in the fiberglass boat industry; the president of the largest shipyard in the United States; and one of the decade’s most controversial political authors. They all share their love and devotion to a single individual and their passion for a fading art.
