Essex County Community Foundation’s Creative County Initiative grants program at work!
North Shore Education Consortium students are building a traditional clamming skiff with Essex Shipbuilding Museum Harold Burnham, instructor Mark Webster, and boatbuilder Jeff Lane.
Using frame patterns, they found an oak with the grown crooks needed for the frames, felled the tree, and milled their timber. Skiff will be done in the spring and the community will be invited to make traditional clamming baskets to celebrate this unique part of Essex heritage!”
