Auckland Heritage Festival: Make a Model Boat

Health & Safety 1. this is not a drop off event, please bring your children.

Early pioneers designed and built the boats used for travel across the ocean, and by traders around our shores.

Today, traditional boat builders play a crucial role in preserving and restoring these vessels.
