During the summer of 2014, Currituck County Maritime Heritage Fellows Ryan Bradley and Jeremy Borrelli digitally reconstructed two locally built watercraft owned by the Whalehead Preservation Trust. This video tracks the history of these vernacular watercraft, explains their unique significance to Currituck and the Outer Banks, and outlines the process of creating 3-dimensional models of each boat. The history of boating and boat building on the Outer Banks is long and storied. Recording each vessel creates a digital record of the rare construction of these historic boats that reveal the personal legacy and unique heritage of Currituck boat builders.
