The evolution of modern boat building in America starts with simple designs such as those found in rough-hewn canoes – and its surprisingly fundamental. Watch Roy explore how to build a boat as he visits the Hampton Mariner’s Museum and discusses boat building that’s large and complex. There is a clear evolution in tools and techniques and it’s both instructive and entertaining to watch this process.
