At the Maritime
Museum
By Phyllis Makuck
The N.C Maritime Museum at 315 Front
Street in Beaufort is a special resource for
our area—a great place to take visitors for a
morning or afternoon and a great place for
locals and visitors to participate in a range
of activities. This summer, the Maritime
Museum is offering a full schedule of events
suitable for young and old.
Boating classes v^ill include the following:
traditional boat handling on Fridays and
the week. For sailing and traditional
boat handling, the museum will provide
watercraft from its in-water fleet. For
kayaking, you have the option of bringing
your own kayak or using one provided.
The museum's W atercraft Center will also
be offering a variety of classes on Saturdays
and Sundays throughout the siunmer: boat
building knotting and splicing, lofting,
lift half modeling, oar making, and sail
making. For children, summer classes
and camps are available: a Junior Sailing
Program, Summer Science School, and the
new Science to Sail program—combining
junior sailing and coastd adventures.
Summer camp offerings are based on
grade level. Srasions vary from half day
