The Philadelphia Ship Model Society and the Independence Seaport Museum have recently teamed up to create a Ship Model Workshop on site at the Museum. The workshop, also known as the Ship Model Shack, debuted as the Museum's newest exhibit on December 3, 2009. The Shack is located on the first floor of the Museum, just outside the Workshop on the Water, the Museum's boat-building facility.
Exhibit Debut
PSMS members will staff the workshop each weekend,
demonstrating the intricate art of ship modeling while interacting with
museum patrons and visitors.
Below is the schedule of workshop volunteers. PSMS
members who are interested in manning the Ship Model Shack may refer to
this schedule to choose an available date. Please contact Joe Jordan or, if he is unavailable, Jim
MacIntyre to volunteer your time and talents!
