A Shot Across the Bows - True's Yard 7th May

Survey of Fishing Smack

Another Fishing Smack Example

The focus of this event is the Fishing Smack in the garden of True's Yard which has not yet been recorded in detail. Working using the Nautical Archaeology Society proformas we plan record details of the smack, prior to its renovation. In addition we plan to complete a line drawing of the vessel and to record it from a number of angles using digital photography. If we have time, we plan to carry out an initial survey and some photography of the external and interior aspects of the preserved fisherman's cottage at True's Yard.

Meet at True's Yard at 10:30 am
