Half hull models serve as traditional methods to visualize, plan, and understand a vessel’s three-dimensional design and proportions. And we have an upcoming class where you can create your own! You’ll create a scale, half-side replica of a North Carolina Shad boat’s hull during our half hull model class on March 21 in the museum’s Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center. Get hands-on woodworking experience in techniques like transferring boat plans, cutting laminated “lifts” of wood, and carving the hull into its final shape, resulting in a finished model ready to take home and apply the finish of your choosing. Registration for the March 21 class closes Wednesday. Registration is also open for a second course that will be held on November 14. Class fee is $150 ($135 for Friends of the Museum, which sponsors the program). Minimum age is 16. Course size is limited, and advance registration is required. Register on the museum’s website or by calling 252-504-7758. Images: Half boat model made by Geoffrey J. Scofield at the watercraft center in1979.

Note: This post has been edited to correct the date the battle took place.On March 14, 1862, Union Army Major General Ambrose E. Burnside’s forces took New Bern. He and his troops had landed at Slocum Creek the day before and made their way along the railroad tracks and the old Beaufort Road. The 11,000 men were accompanied by Union Navy Commander Stephen C. Rowan and his 13 gunboats that moved up the Neuse River. Opposing forces were led by General Laurence O'Bryan Branch along with Colonel Zebulon Vance.

Fish Friday The great barracuda can grow up to 5 feet long and weigh up to 100 pounds. These fish are ambush predators, lying in wait and then darting out at speeds of up to 36 miles per hour to grab their unsuspecting prey. Fun fact: barracuda’s iconic toothy smile is made up of two rows of teeth. Their sharp, outer row is used for tearing while their larger, inner row is used for piercing.

“We wanted to create a program that looks at whales through many lenses: science, history, art and conservation,” said Associate Education Curator Christine Brin, who coordinated the symposium. “Whales have shaped coastal communities for centuries, and they continue to shape conversations about how we care for our oceans today.”www.carolinacoastonline.com/news_times/article_eee1bbbc-2368-4544-87d7-47ec707d6ecb.html ...
