Make It, Take It Children's Craft: Whatever Floats Your Boat

Join us for a Make It, Take It program on Saturday, January 18, 2025, from 10 a.m. to noon.
Explore the exhibit Rock of the Eye through hands-on activities to learn about boatbuilding and maritime history in northeastern North Carolina.
Boatbuilders have been constructing vessels to ply the waterways of the Albemarle region for thousands of years. With many traditions passed along by generations before them, these crafters have shaped the Albemarle region into a diverse maritime haven by connecting communities together. Whether building boats for business or recreation, or used as a means to freedom, boatbuilders, along with their vessels and shipyards, have impacted the maritime history of this region. The exhibit Rock of the Eye: Boatbuilding Traditions Around the Albemarle Sound features graphics and artifacts that exemplify boatbuilding traditions that tie generations and communities together, showcasing the Albemarle region’s strong, diverse maritime heritage.
