Product Description
The "Skipjack" is the last working sailboat to ply the American waters in any significant numbers. Perhaps the best known vessel connected with the Chesapeake Bay, these vessels possessed a highly raked mast and a large amount of sail area, giving them the power necessary to haul the dredging equipment used to collect oysters. Our model represents a 48 foot long vessel known as an "Oyster Pirate". Operated by poachers and pursued often by the authorities, they dredged at night on oyster beds reserving by the law for tonging, and were known for their speed. The Skipjack's continued use is decreed by state fishery laws, since they do far less damage to the oyster beds than a fleet of modern power dredges. At the turn of the century, approximately 2000 Skipjack's comprised the oyster fleet. There are now less than 40 remaining in the United States today.
Build a little piece of American history!
Midwest's Apprentice Boats are modeled after the original boats used in the 1800s and early 1900s. When you build these boats, you will learn real boat building techniques with different types of hull construction such as lapstrake and strip planking. The hull of each boat is built on a frame, just like the real thing.

Really nice!
Color: Brown
Nicely made. The wood has a lovely finish and rich color. The compartments have a softer bottom so you don’t have to worry about scratching your glasses or other surfaces. Great assortment of compartment sizes to help organize your items.
Kicking myself for not getting one sooner.

Well-Built, Masculine, Watch and Jewelry Case
Color: Espresso, Color: Espresso
The description here on Amazon is very accurate, but I have to say the quality is beyond what I expected! The material is soft with a nice leather feel to it. And the small details, from the stitching to the hinges to the clasp appears to be very high-quality. It came in a very nice package, and was well protected during shipping. The one thing I really liked about it was that the dividers in some of the compartments are able to be removed, offering a little more versatility as far as storage goes (see pics). The case has a very masculine look to it, which goes with the larger chronographs I have. It also has plenty of space for accessories, such as extra watch bands.
