The Steel Yard worked with the Gaspee Days Committee in order to design and build a brand new Gaspee for the annual Gaspee Days festival. It was designed to have a more ecologically friendly burn and it was made to be road-worthy so it could be part of the parade. The Steel Yard fabricated the Gaspee in The Steel Yard shop, using a skilled team of artists and fabricators and guided GDC on best practices for wrapping and igniting the Gaspee.
