The Antique Boat Museum’s Builder in Residence (BIR) program invites one craftsperson per year to work within the Museum Boatyard and attracts both emerging and established artisans. The BIR program is designed to enhance the educational experience of the builder, visitors and staff and will continue every year in the summer.
The 2023 Builder in Residence Joe Connor built "Kaniatarowanneneh", a 22' St. Lawrence sailing skiff. The original (2008.005), a 22-foot sailing skiff was built between 1885 and 1888, came from the Adirondack Great Camp Pineknot and was built by A. Bain and Co.
