The Katie Eccles: Reconstructing the Hull Lines of a Great Lakes Schooner

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Current Research at Texas A&M University's Conservation Research Laboratory" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

In 2019, the Last Schooner Project surveyed the two-masted schooner Katie Eccles in eastern Lake Ontario, producing a 1:1 scale-constrained photo model of the site with an aim of reconstructing the lines of the hull. This paper will discuss the methodology used in reconstructing the hull form of the Katie Eccles and its implications for further research into Great Lakes wooden shipbuilding and hull designs, which have been historically understudied.
