Wooden Boat Building Program

The LPBMM Boat Building Program allows students to choose among several designs, then complete them to fit their needs.
The Maritime Museum Boat Building Program helps students build traditional Louisiana designs under the watchful eye of experienced instructors. Lake skiffs, pirogues, and bateaux are constructed as part of three semesters annually, and several shorter classes offered periodically.
