Staff and volunteers of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum gathered on Monday to help turn over a new log canoe being built in the museum’s boatshop. Adapting the lines from a Lambdin canoe in the museum’s collection, CBMM shipwrights, apprentices, and volunteers began working on the new, three-log sailing canoe earlier this fall. With the hull built from three, 26-foot local loblolly pine logs, the canoe is being constructed in full public view, with an anticipated spring or early summer launch.
CBMM is offering free admission each Friday in February, with more information found at www.cbmm.org.
