Just about everyone who comes to these pages is some kind of boat nut, and I’m a boat nut too. I’d like to make this weblog as interesting and useful to us all as possible, and I want to fill it with news and photographs about:
•Projects about old boats, historic boats, traditionally-built boats, and traditionally-derived boats.
•Boating history and traditions.
•The skills involved, the craftsmen and the available training.
So, whether you own these kinds of boats, work on them, sell them, build them, paint or photograph them, write about their history, design them, run a club or organise events, or collect old songs and stories connected with them – if you would like to bring your projects to the attention of a wider public, email me now at gmatkin@gmail.com!

A letter from the Green Man

Did you spot the comment from the Green Man in the post http://intheboatshed.net/?p=276 ?

He kindly sent us a copy of his letter to the master and crew of the Master Shipbroker, who brought him down the river to land at the river’s edge near the Globe Theatre in London on Twelfth Night. The weather was terrible, and I think our Green person was even more grateful than ever for their help.

And thanks to you Green Man! Here’s the link to the organisers’ website again:
