The "Shipwrights of Ohio" is a group that is interested in most aspects of ships with a special focus on modelling them. Our interests range over their history, types, uses, architecture, and the engineering and construction techniques of realistic scale models. Our creative interests are met, as our name implies, in planning, designing, construction, and sharing experiences or solving challenges. The "Shipwrights of Ohio" was founded in 2004 and is composed of active ship model enthusiasts from Ohio and from other states. Its purpose is to provide a socially enjoyable means for serious and not so serious ship modelers to meet, share, and expand their common avocation through the exchange of ideas and skill knowledge. Our skills range from beginners to those who build museum quality models. Our members have interests in all types of ships and boats: sailing to steel navy, ancient to stealth, wood, resin, plastic, paper, kits to scratch built, static to radio control. for all ages - young to retirees, and all skill levels - beginner to expert.
