Description

Jan Adkins’ “Wood Ship” is the chronicle of a boat’s birth; from the will and idea of a brand new vessel we see her abuilding within the mind of her designer, within the timbers of her ribs, within the tools and abilities of her workmen. We follow her as she grows, as she disappears out to sea searching for whales and riches, and beyond. “Wood Ship” reaches back to the year 1868 and brings to us a vision of life and vitality woven across the mythical whaleship “Ulysses.” We see the workmen and their work as though caught in amber, demonstrating their crafts, shaping a perfect world-cruising ship that bears away their arts, New Bedford’s hopes and our imaginations.
