This past weekend, I ventured down to the Independence Seaport Museum to see the boats from the Antique & Classic Boat Society.Their local chapter was exhibiting some of their beautiful old mahogany motorboats at the museum for the first time.
Too bad it was so hot outside. A lot of people missed out on seeing some true pieces of Americana.
I covered the show for the Center City Weekly Press and you can read the story here.
You can also check out the video and see some pictures of the boats and learn about them--and the Antique & Classic Boat Society--from the members themselves.
Met a great guy (hey, you wear hawaiian shirts and surf you're great in my book) named Sean Null who makes wooden kayaks, canoes--and this is what got me--surfboards. He had a few boards on display. I'm a surfer, and had always wanted a wooden board. You can check out Sean's woodworking at WoodWaterCrafts.com. His stuff is for sale.
