Half Hull Ship Model

In June of this year, we stayed in a cabin on the coast of Maine with our son and daughter-in-law, and her family.  The cabin was at the Hiram Blake Camp.  In the dining room, they had a Half Hull Ship Model on the wall.  That was my inspiration to do this piece.  In the 1800's, shipwrights used these models as a guide for the ship's design and to insure the ship would be symmetrical.  My model is made of mahogany and is mounted on a poplar board.  It will remind us of our wonderful time on our trip to Maine.
