BATH, ME - Boat builder, writer and researcher Douglas Brooks will discuss Japanese boatbuilding in, appropriately enough, the Museum's Boatshop next Thursday, May 10, at 6:30 p.m. Brooks will share his experiences in learning the methods of traditional Japanese boat building when he apprenticed with five different boat builders during more than a dozen trips to various regions of Japan over the past 15 years. His presentation will focus on the techniques and design secrets of the craft - techniques that have been passed from master to apprentice with almost no written record. Part of the continuing series about boat building called Mug-Up!, this presentation is co-sponsored by the Japan America Society of Maine.
