In 1998, we sent our Dutch Tjotter to the Netherlands for restoration work. This image shows it upon its return. The boat was built ca 1913 by Van der Werff Brothers in Sneek, Friesland, Netherlands. It is currently on display in our International Small Craft Center.
This image shows a group of Steiff animals in a Noah’s Ark display in 1970. We have several Noah’s Ark sets in the collection, from toys to dioramas.
For those who follow our blog, you may remember that last year we had a Kenyan dhow added to our collection. When the piece came to the museum, it was placed in the back of our International Small Craft Center in a temporary position. Yesterday we spent a good portion of the morning getting it into a better spot for display and raising the mast.
Our staff deserves some major kudos for this as they figured out how to rig it just by looking at photos we had taken when it was in D.C.. Now our visitors can enjoy seeing the dhow in all its glory!
Construction of our old Small Craft Building. About 11 years ago it was replaced with a newer, more efficient building where a good amount of our small craft is now displayed.
这张图显示了我们的船舶模型商店中的男人在1940年1月23日修理我们的一群figure头。我们的许多figure头崎rough地来到了博物馆，因此需要做一些工作以确保它们足够稳定以展示。正如我们的旧照片所显示的那样，我们曾经在大厅的墙壁上有很多。
Anna Hyatt Huntington’s statue “Conquering the Wild” at night on October 8, 1937, before the fence was put around it. The monument is dedicated to Collis Potter Huntington and features a young man taming a horse on top. Around the sides are four seated men representing Art, Learning, Science and Industry.
This image shows our small craft exhibition in the courtyard in the late 50’s. For a long time the courtyard was our best area to display boats as it was such a large are. Now we have the wonderful International Small Craft Center, a large building just for our boats.
This was one of the storage buildings (in 1937) attached to the main museum. It would later be converted into our library space, at least until they moved over to the Christopher Newport University library.
正如1940年的这张照片所示，他们停止将我们的船存放在湖中后，将它们放入我们的庭院中，在那里他们更容易看到。现在，他们很高兴地在我们的国际小型手工艺中心展出。
