In '99, Navigator Stove Works acquired the rights to produce a select number of Lunenburg Foundry's traditional cast iron marine stoves. Designed originally for boats, these stoves are equally suited for use in small spaces on land (300 sq.ft. or less) where a larger conventional woodburning stove would be impractical.

Located in Nova Scotia, Canada, Lunenburg produced a wide range of marine equipment for commercial vessels and yachts since the company's founding in 1891. Lunenburg ceased producing stoves in 1993 with the closure of their iron foundry.

Utilizing Lunenburg's vintage foundry patterns, Navigator is currently producing the SARDINE and the LITTLE COD.

The HALIBUT, designed by Navigator, features an oven and a glass window in the upper firebox door. This solid fueled cookstove attempts to integrate and update the best design elements from several boat oriented stove foundries which used to operate in the USA. SHIPMATE being one of the best known examples.

Due to its enduring practical appeal, the "LITTLE COD" has earned a place aboard many craft on many coasts. First produced circa 1917, this compact solid fuel stove was initially designed to keep fishermen warm and well fed
as they jigged for cod. This ruggedly beautiful cast iron marine stove is the result of over 80 years of refinement. Its simplicity and reliability will be a welcome addition to any galley, cabin, or pilothouse.

Economical to run and maintain, this source of dry heat will undoubtedly be the greatest contributor to comfort aboard your yacht. Designed for boats, but delightful in small rooms, cabins, and workshops, the “Little Cod” is ideal for spaces where the use of a conventionally sized stove is impossible.
