Marine Fabrication, Midyear Update

The Marine Fabrication class is a tradition at Wrangell and always will be.  It is amazing that the students can enter this class and actually build a full size quality boat.  I could never list all the things that the students learn during class, but I can say that the students leave as very capable fabricators.  We are currently building two 18ft. jet scow similar to ones traditionally use in our community.  The process is going very well and the boat are taking shape.  We've had several helpful visits from Dave Brown (our former vocational instructor) and Dave Svendsen (a local marine fabricator) to ensure that the we are maintaining the quality that has historically come out of the school shop.  Here are some pictures of our progress so far this year.   (more pictures later)
