Spruce Head Marine was started in 1962 by Richard "Ducky" McLennan and his close friend Donald Merchant. It was originally located on Lobster Cove, Spruce Head Island. In 1966 it was moved to Shey's Cove just off the Mussell Ridge Channel. At this time Ducky took over the business and devoted all of his time to creating the business he had dreamed of for years. His son Gary and his friend Scott Appleby joined the business in 1977. The business is now run by Richard's youngest son Douglas. |
