Shipwright Series Project


Our own Jeremy Johnson sent this information. Check it out!

Our kickoff video and the first of a series, Shipwright Sessions takes a look at an unsung but critical component of wooden boat work; caulking. In this episode, we sit down to talk with Brad Seamans of the Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-Op, who recently wrapped up some of this time-honored craft on the F/V Polaris, a storied 100+ year old Halibut Schooner built and maintained right here in Washington State.

Tyler Rowe, Samuel Wolfe, and I have started collaborating to produce films relating to the maritime industry. Our first short film features Brad Seamans and the skill of caulking.

We’re chasing down funding for other stories around Washington and Alaska, and hope to do more of these “Shipwright Sessions” as time and funding becomes available.
