Caulking A Historic Wooden Ship: Virginia V Shipyard Vlog #22

Now that all of the hull planks have been replaced (see Vlog #21) it's time for the next step in the process: Caulking! The SS Virginia V is still caulked traditionally using Cotton and Oakum, a technique that has been in use on wooden ships for over a thousand years. Join us to see how it's done! You can help support our work on the Virginia V by visiting our website at www.virginiav.org . Donations help keep this ship alive!
