The sea continues to inspire skilled traditional artists who make both functional and commemorative objects. Here you will meet a handful of artists who still make their livelihood building wooden boats and marine hardware. Others create objects evoking the golden era of tall ships, or the whaling and fishing industries. Some artists revitalize maritime crafts once practiced by sailors, while other artists create highly personal work, memorializing those who lost their lives at sea.
