PENOBSCOT MARINE MUSEUM TO OFFER HALF HULL MODEL CLASS Searsport: Learn the fine old art of half-hull modeling. For centuries, shipbuilders designed ships by carving a model of half of the hull, which allowed them to examine every curve and feature before beginning construction. A nicely carved half-hull model makes an impressive wall decoration or gift. This class will build the 1934 Americas Cup boat Endeavour, one of the most graceful racing yachts ever built. Participants will build the model from "lifts" of basswood and mahogany, and mount the finished model on a cherry backboard. The class will be taught by Al Ross, an experienced model builder and educator. We will have students from Searsport High School participating. Please let us know when you register if you would like to partner with a student. Everyone will build their own model. Classes meet Monday and Wednesday, 2-5 pm; Mar 22, 24, 29, 31; Apr. 5, 7, 12, 14 Class fee: $135 (museum members); $150 (non-members); includes all materials Registration: Call 207-548-2529 ext. 206 or email: bschopmeyer@pmm-maine.org (from maineevents.com)
