Description

HANDS ON BOATS is designed for adults who are interested in wooden boats and want to be part of constructing a new boat while learning-by-doing alongside a master boat builder.

HANDS ON BOATS participants are constructing a replica Piscataqua River Wherry based on the lines taken off of an historic vessel, which is part of the Strawbery Banke Museum collection.

Past participants documented the historic vessel, lofted the new boat and created the patterns and molds, constructed the stem and transom and began the planking.

The completed boat will be raffled off. Participants receive raffle tickets as part of their registration fee. Raffle tickets are also available to the general public for $15 each. Buy a raffle ticket.

Strawbery Banke Museum
Strawbery Banke Museum, in the heart of historic downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is an authentic 10-acre outdoor history museum dedicated to bringing 300+ years of American history in the same waterfront neighborhood to life. The Museum is a place for children, adults, multigenerational families, and groups to gather to explore eight heritage gardens, 32 historic buildings, and traditional crafts, preservation programs, hands-on activities, the stories told by costumed role-players and the changing exhibits that offer hours of fun and discovery. The Museum's restored buildings and open space invite visitors to immerse themselves in the past, using objects from the museum's collection of 30,000 artifacts, and the histories of the families who lived and worked in the Puddle Dock neighborhood to engage, educate, and entertain.
