Delaware Restoration: Sawn & Bent Frames

Work with CBMM shipwrights to learn the fundamentals of boatbuilding by taking part in the stem-to-stern restoration of 1912 river tug Delaware. Participants will have the opportunity to work on the project from lofting to her launch. In these sessions, participants will learn how to make patterns off of Delaware’s lofted body plan and turn them into the frames that will become part of the vessel’s backbone. Delaware is constructed with both sawn and steam-bent frames, giving participants the opportunity to learn both techniques. Materials are included with registration.
