Museum Boat Shed

Here is a different angle of the museum. The tall section is the part of the building that will house the Shenandoah. She is a 58 foot purse seiner that was donated to the museum by one of the local fishermen who was ready to retire, and would not have been able to find a buyer. The museum gladly accepted it and will move the boat into the shed and probably spend a gazillion dollars restoring it, using grant money and giving a shipright a steady job for the rest of his life, while he demonstrates how to repair wood boats.
