Code Flag Lima No. 19: Herreshoff Content for the Quarantined! Welcome to CFLP19! We have an important announcement to share with you today! Rhode Island is in the early stages of figuring out how to slowly and safely open back up. While the Museum is still closed to visitors for the present, the Lima team here at HMM is really excited to be starting the process of transitioning back to working on-site (safely and socially distantly) with artifacts and exhibits and visitor experience planning, all looking forward to that day when we can welcome you all back to our campus too. In light of RI's phase one opening, starting next week we're going to be sending out the Lima newsletter and updating the Lima site just once a week on Thursdays. Since we have been getting such great feedback from you all, we do plan to keep the Code Flag Lima project going indefinitely, just not quite as frequently! We hope this will allow us to go a little more in-depth with some of our posts while also getting back to regular museum business behind the scenes. We are so glad you've been following along with us so far, and hope you'll keep up with us even as summer starts kicking into gear. As always, please send us your feedback, thoughts, ideas, etc. You can reach us at lima@herreshoff.org. You can also upload photos of your #HerrshoffFromHome projects on our Facebook page or connect with us on Instagram @herreshoff. We’re looking forward to hearing from you, as always! During these crazy times, the Museum really needs your support. We've challenged ourselves to grow our membership with new digital initiatives like this that can bring the museum to our community, so please help us achieve that goal by taking a minute to renew, join or donate now.

Putt Putt Boats This at-home activity is definitely one for the grown ups, but so worth the effort! Build yourself a version of the classic steam powered putt-putt boat and let us know how it goes. Try it Yourself

Steam Launch Blog #21 Keel is now fitted in place at the height indicated on the molds and ribs shaped to receive and fit to the keel. Ribs are notched flush to the ledge on the keel as both will receive the garboard plank, and for many stations that rib extends under the keel. Read More

Two Model Videos Seems like we've got models on the brain this week! Check out these two videos about two very different kinds of models - some vintage footage of competitive pond-yachting in the U.K. in the 1960s, and another great video from our friends at the Mystic Seaport Museum explaining the half model carving process. Stick it out to the end of the MSM video in particular for an HMCo. cameo! Watch: Mystic Seaport Museum Watch: British Pathé Pond Yachts

ASA's Web Wednesdays with Peter Isler: a legendary HMM Behind the Scenes Tour If you missed our live tour of HMM after dark last night with the American Sailing Association's Peter Isler, never fear: it was recorded and you can still watch the whole three ring circus online. It was Peter's most ambitious interview to date, juggling powerpoint, three live interviewees, draining camera batteries and lots of moving parts, but we had a great time and we think you might enjoy watching it too. Use the friends-of-HMM discount code ( herreshoff) to watch the lecture for cheap, and check back on our post below where we will answer some of the questions we didn't have time for during the live interview: Watch the after-dark, behind-the-scenes tour of HMM!
