Posted on February 25th,2009Our friends over at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum have been busy. They have launched two new blogs to highlight the activity on their working waterfront. The Apprentice for a Day blog highlights that program,in which we at Chine bLog have been proud and happy participants. There are some pictures of the building,but mostly there are detailed descriptions of class activities,such as this one on planking a Melonseed skiff. Apprentice for a Day (AFAD) director Dan Sutherland has some deep knowledge to share and there are good nuggets in here.
You can then hop over to the On the Railway blog for happenings with the museum’s fleet of historic working watercraft. Boatyard director Marc Barto and his crew keep 100+ year-old boats,many of them big,solid boats with a ton of hard work on their timbers,available for ongoing appreciation. After looking at the small AFAD boats,the scale of these working craft is daunting.
Great to have these new blogs available!
