Blacksmithing, coastal navigation, boatbuilding, sailing... There's more to a mariner than meets the eye. Give your child a chance of a lifetime to learn what it took to be a mariner in the Golden Age of Sail!

Traditional skill lessons with experienced mariners will include rigging, blacksmithing, navigation, knot-tying, treenail making, sea shanties, and more.
