Model boat enthusiasts make sure you save some time on April 18 and 19 (Patriot’s Day Weekend) for the Woods Hole Model Boat Show. Over 125 model boats, both static and radio-controlled will be on display. The demonstrations and races are my favorite part. There will be radio-controlled boat races on Eel Pond both days. (If you get hungry, be sure to stop in at the Captain Kidd, which overlooks Eel Pond, for some fish and chips! I think they have the best on Cape Cod!)
Workshops, demonstrations and talks will also be given on both Saturday and Sunday. You’ll love watching how craftsmen create ships in bottles. If you’re wondering what a boat or maritime item is worth, a boat appraiser will be available to evaluate your things. Commercial exhibiters will sell completed models, kits and equipment for building models.
On Saturday morning you’ll be able to visit the stately Nobska Lighthouse and the Woods Hole aquarium.
This whole shebang is just fun stuff. It’s also a fundraiser for the Woods Hole Historical Society. Admission is $12 for Adults, $5 for Children over 5. Families get a flat-rate of $25.
