Three years ago I started this site to follow the construction of one boat, Silent Maid. At the time I thought the Workshop crew would build her in a single block of time. Instead all the other opportunities listed on this page, and a few others, presented themselves and Silent Maid was delayed several times. Silent Maid was launched on June 14, 2009 and is now being fitted out alongside the Independence Seaport Museum dock. In the very near future she will sail for the first time.
Below are two webcam views of projects underway at the Workshop on the Water. The images can be refreshed every minute between 9 am and 5 pm and once an hour through the night. If no activity is visible it is because the crew is busy elsewhere in the shop.
