Same as last time, but with less words because I'm tired.

There's a tent called the Shipwright's Village which had demonstrations of various skills (wrights should be the word to use there). This one is obviously showing how to make wood shavings more quickly.

More. Yes, really. )

Last one :)

Crowd


Lots to look at, of course, with displays of boats in all sizes and form, and other m marine & maritime topics; but also films to watch, music to listen to, thing for sale, and all manner of things to eat and drink. (We had fish & chips from one of the nearby floating fish shops, followed by a Derwent Clear Ale, which was rather nice. I bought it, came back and started to drink before I remembered I can't stand beer, usually.)

Have a look at some of the displays )

JC Night

There are three areas with watercraft, plus a fourth part outside the boundary of the festival proper.

Have a look )

The Hunter St area had two tents, with some smaller things around the edge. The endmost tent, shown here, had the Shipwrights Village (displays of maritime-related crafts) and a display of Indigenous Watercraft. The first tent had the Maritime Marketplace, which was crowded because of the rain and not as interesting as I remember it.
