We can't wait to welcome you to Mystic Seaport for the 25th Annual WoodenBoat Show this weekend! The Show opens at 9:00 am today and will run through Sunday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm daily. Summer begins at the WoodenBoat Show!
Speakers' Series: Native American Birchbark Canoes
Lightweight, sturdy, and highly functional, the birchbark canoes of North America have inspired admiration for hundreds of years. Steve Cayard, a birchbark canoe builder in Maine, will be presenting in the Olin Stephens Room (Stillman Building, third floor, see #6 on the map) on Friday at 11:30 am. He will also have a birchbark canoe on display in the Boat Shed (see #32 on the map)
Interlux Yacht Finishes is proud to sponsor the I Built It Myself exhibit at the show. There will be over 20 boats on display with their proud owners/builders. Interlux will award the Best In Show award on Saturday afternoon.
Be sure to check out the Family BoatBuilding tent on Chubb's Wharf (see # 15 on the map) where six families will be building B&B Designs' Moccasin canoe. Thanks to B&B Yacht Designs for providing expert instruction to the families participating in the event!
