Vintage Vessels

This series focuses on the restoration of classic boats, from vintage wooden runabouts to antique canoes. Travelling across Eastern North America, we will find and feature stories about the people who own and love classic boats. With a glimpse into the history of each craft, VINTAGE VESSELS will also showcase the craftsmanship that goes into maintaining and restoring these vintage vessels. From engine maintenance to hull repairs, to boathouse construction, VINTAGE VESSELS will feature everything related to owning and operating classic wooden watercraft. Visiting marinas, marine museums, collector events and shows, and restoration shops, VINTAGE VESSELS will be informative and entertaining viewing about the art and love for wooden boats.
