"The International Small Craft Center opened on May 17, 2003, at The Mariners’ Museum. The 17,500 square foot facility houses a collection that features nearly 150 boats from 42 countries, and is one of the few truly internationally focused collections in the world."
We visited the Mariner's Museum recently and said hello to all of the boats in the Small Craft Center. One of the first was N. G. Herreshoff's fin keel sloop DILEMMA. First of her kind, revolutionary and a sole survivor. Seems she's losing the race to a little Opti though :)
