Hi out there,
Yes a carpenter is someone who works on large structures such as houses and ships as opposed to a joiner who makes furniture,house fittings,door frames or the like.

In the uk skilled tradesmen who worked on ships were collectively known as shipwrights.

Cheers,

Hi All,

In the 1850's would the occupation Carpenter refer to a Ships Carpenter?
