CLIO’S ARMADA: Heritage Boat-Building Projects Around the World.
Length: 1 hour (45 minutes plus discussion time).
Recommended audience: 3-30 persons
Delivered via: Zoom; Google Meets, in person (Lower Mainland BC).
The Wind in the Willows suggested that there wasn’t anything much more fun than “messing about with boats.” But time and geography, people and communities are engaged in building and launching heritage watercraft. From canoes built to pass on skills to tallships constructed to commemorate history, this presentation will take you through five amazing boats built by different communities with different aims – but all in the same spirit. Presented not as a serious discussion of the nuts and bolts, but of heritage crafts and community.
