Boats of Currituck

In the fall of 2013 and the summer of 2014, graduate students from East Carolina University's Program in Maritime Students, in collaboration with the UNC-Coastal Studies Institute, carried out a project recording six watercraft from a collection of historical small watercraft collected and maintained by the Whalehead Preservation Trust in Currituck County, North Carolina. This volume contains six chapters that serve as the technical reports concerning these six vessels. Each chapter reports the process of recording the boats and their histories and also engages in interpretation and analysis of the form, function, and methods of construction. This publication intends to communicate the results of maritime-focused historic preservation activities concerning a small part of Currituck County's legacy of boat-building
