An awkwardly oriented display of a portion of an historic ship-wrecked schooner was engineered and reconstructed to reduce its gallery foot print and portray the artifact in a context-correct position. The Schooner ‘Lizzie J. Carr’ was originally built in 1868, in Maine, for the coastal trade but wrecked off of Wallis Sand Beach in Rye, NH in 1905. Buried in shifting sands until the late 1990‘s, a portion of the hull was recovered and first displayed in 2001.
