#BoatBuilding
My fantasy. A little traditional boatyard up an idyllic Cornish creek. Rescuing beautiful old sailing boats from the scrapyard, restoring them with enthusiastic volunteers and teaching youngsters the art of wooden boatbuilding.
They do it with steam trains and traction engines. Why not little ships?

Did you know? Balangay boats discovered in Butuan show sophisticated early Filipino boatbuilding and navigation. Why it matters: It’s a reminder that context changes how we understand the world. #PhilippinesFacts #PinoyTrivia #eddnoxx

@wewoodptjoinery.bsky.social Maritime carvel framing relies on continuous compression. Chapelle's 1941 boatbuilding manual mandates maritime white oak tenons be driven at 0.008 inch interference into green mortises, letting swelling lock the joint before anyone takes a seat.
Solid wood. Traditional joinery. A design inspired by the ships that changed the world.

Although modern understandings of the Congo have been shaped by biased accounts of external observers, these same accounts document extensive traditions of boatbuilding, navigation, and commercial competition that were products of indigenous developments.
