Welcome to the 2nd Edition of the Code Flag Lima Project whereby we bring the museum to the quarantined! Hopefully, you enjoyed Monday’s launch edition, but if you missed it, all of the stuff from that one is on the website at
herreshoff.org/lima. While we’re trying to navigate these confusing seas, we need your support more than ever, so
please join or renew your membership online now by clicking here.
If you would prefer to opt-out of this twice weekly mailer, but stay on the Museum's general mailing list

website.
Our team of volunteers up in Building 28 has been working their magic on a new addition to our Steam Exhibit. They’re building a replica of HMCo. #199 complete with an original Triple Expansion engine and steam system!
Our friends at RIPBS visited the boat shop last year to see our STEAM Education Program in action. It’s a great look at what we’re doing to create the next generation of problem solvers!
Check this how-to from
Small Boats Monthly on making “mud pattens” ! Think snow shoes for the mud, perfect for the spring thaw and the intertidal zone. If you have a shop and kids at home and a little bit of time, we highly recommend using this project to get you outside and exploring new spaces as a part of your social-distance-outside routine.
Finally, we’d love to share a podcast with you that is produced right down the road from us in Bristol, RI. Around the Buoy is a podcast featuring stories about life on the water. Last year, hosts Carter and Tyler interviewed HMM’s Evelyn Ansel about her work with the Herreshoff plans collection at MIT. You can find that episode on their
website:
Providing an exciting, interesting and educational Museum experience takes creative talent, time and funding. We rely on our members and supporters for help in all three areas to raise the Museum experience.
