New London Maritime Society Presents David McCulloch & More
By: Gabrielle Sierra Jan. 20, 2010
This week: Birds, pictures of the boats, & pictures of birds.
Special exhibit: Two Small Boats by David McCulloch
Our favorite small-boat builder, David McCulloch of Old Lyme, has brought in two of his hand-built boats--perfect, by the way, for birding in the marsh! The 12-foot kayak, with a heat-shrunk aircraft dacron cover, is David's own design and weighs just 20 pounds! The 14-foot paddle canoe, designed by Jon Persson of Essex, weighs 39 pounds. For more information see Seth Persson Boats.
This Thursday, January 21, 6:30-8:00 pm
