Boat Building Handelmans

Yesterday, we went to Mystic Seaport Museum. Mystic Seaport is set up like an 1800s boating village, we did lots of things, but what I'm choosing to write about is the boat building. 

There was a children's activity for building boats out of paper, hot glue and wood. at first I wanted to do a ketch or a yawl, but it turned out schoonerish. In the picture I'm attaching the dinghy to the boat, by using a small piece of wood as a cleat, and gluing string to the cleat, so you can drag the dinghy.
