Updating the Outdated for Understanding: Creating 3D models for the Smithsonian Chebacco boats.
Author(s): Leland S Crawford

Summary
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Citizen Science in Maritime Archaeology: The Power of Public Engagement for Heritage Monitoring and Protection" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Chebacco boats have almost no physical representations left. The Smithsonian houses a few of the rare models that were created by people who built and sailed them at the time of their heyday. The only depictions of these models are outdated black-and-white photographs from the 1930s through the 1950s. This paper will discuss the process of creating 3D photogrammetry models and the impact this has on our understanding of a vessel that was pivotal in the shipbuilding tradition of Massachusetts.
