This exhibit posting is in progress.
“Meet master boat builder John Martin. Growing up in the 1960s and early 70s on Charleston’s South Main Street, John built wooden boats with his Dad and four brothers and took them out on weekends. This bond to wood and water has anchored John ever since.”
“A true craftsman rich in life and talent, John Martin preserves maritime heritage one boat at a time.”
