The dugout canoe is the oldest type of watercraft, dating to over 8,000 years ago. Eventually vessels were fashioned of cut and sawed planks. The workshop will review the history of early watercraft, but the focus will be on wooden ship hull construction of colonial sailing vessels. Participants will also examine bateau and sloop pieces from FWH Museum’s collection to gain insight into the construction of colonial crafts on Lake George.
