A nice looking builders half block

With plaque that reads 'Hooker de Galway. 1911 Island.

The term "builders half block" likely refers to a half-hull model, a traditional method used by boat builders to design and build vessels by eye without formal plans. 

The Galway hooker is a distinctive, sturdy wooden boat with a shallow draft, designed specifically for the rugged coasts and waters of Galway Bay and Connemara. Historically, they were used for fishing and carrying goods, livestock, and fuel.
