Our new special exhibition, “Little Boats: Homegrown Innovation” is now open. From 14 inches to 14 feet, “Little Boats” is sure to delight both young and old.
The exhibit features a fascinating range of full-size, model, and toy boats, including Avanti, featured in the current issue of Small Boat Magazine. A classic Torpedo from Aristo-Craft is another incredible craft in the show. These speedsters are coupled with two older small boats used to take goods to market and a half-sized seine skiff just right for kids to step aboard.
Many of the toy boats are from the collection of HHM Shipwight Riley Hall, with a few unique treasures from the HHM Collection such as Paul Gustofson’s set of local ferries and a beautiful West Coast native canoe model. Our thanks to lenders and donors Brian Andersen, Terry Smith, Gig Harbor Boatshop, and Riley Hall for making these boats available.
