Our Annual Wooden Boat Show is happening this Saturday! The event showcases all varieties of wooden boats, whether newly constructed or restored. ⚓️
This year, Manteo’s own boating history truly comes to life at the event with a historically special participant. Originally named the Peggy, the ME 2? will be making its way back home to North Carolina where it was constructed in 1946-1947. This boat was the first race boat to be built after World War II as a Davis hull, a planked plywood hull. The boathouse (aka Roanoke Island Maritime Museum) was where the boat was built by H. Vernon Davis and his brother Ralph Davis. The Davis brothers were from six generations of boat building here in Dare County.
