ST MICHAELS, MD – Beginning Friday, July 31, 2020 Shipwrights and Apprentices at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md., will be hosting weekly demonstrations of a variety of woodworking and boatbuilding skills on its 18-acre waterfront campus.
Topics for demonstrations, scheduled for Fridays through October, include, but are not limited to, line splicing, making rope fenders, carving traditional nameboards, cutting dovetails and other useful joints, and much more. Presented outside in a wide, open space between CBMM’s Corn Crib and Hooper Strait Lighthouse, each demonstration will begin at 1pm and last from one to three hours.
