Maritime Model Expo
May 19, 2018 @ 10:00 am - May 20, 2018 @ 4:00 pm
The 12th Maritime Model Expo, hosted by the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s Model Guild, will take place along the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s waterfront campus in St. Michaels, MD, Saturday and Sunday, May 19 & 20, 2018.
The model activities will be on the museum grounds near and in the Steamboat Building. A large (40’ ⨉ 70′) 1-ft deep temporary fresh-water pool will be created for R/C live-steam steamboat models, electric boats, and small sailboats. Larger R/C sailboats will operate in Fogg’s Cove on the museum’s waterfront. On Sunday, CBMM’s Model Sailing Club will race 5-ft R/C skipjacks. A “crash” boat will be available on both days.
In the Steamboat Building’s Van Lennep Auditorium, members of the Washington Ship Model Society and other highly acclaimed modelers from throughout the region will show and discuss their carefully researched and crafted vessels and demonstrate building techniques.
Exhibitors can start setting up at 8:30 am. Vehicles may be unloaded near the exhibit area; once unloaded they must be moved to the parking lot. Gates will open to the public at 10:00 am and close at 4:00 pm. Although participation both days is encouraged, participation either day will be appreciated. There will be secure overnight storage in the Museum for those who will be exhibiting both days and wish to leave their equipment on site.
The event is open to the public with general admission on Saturday. Admission is free for CBMM members and registered exhibitors. On Sunday the museum will celebrate Community Day when the entire 18-acre waterfront campus and 12 exhibit buildings will be open to all free of charge.
Admission to the event is free to all registered exhibitors, an adult guest, and their children. R/C sailing models may be registered by contacting John Henderson (jgnhenderson@atlanticbb.net).
