North River at Brick Kiln Ln

Brick Kiln Yard was once a busy shipyard on the North River in Pembroke, active from 1730 to 1848, with two separate yards often building three or four vessels side by side. The Boston Tea Party ship Beaver was built here, along with the Maria, which appears on the Pembroke town seal, and the largest vessel constructed at the site, the 375-ton Laura Ann. There is no public access on land; the historic marker here is best viewed from the water.
