Product Description
The "Skipjack" is the last working sailboat to ply the American waters in any significant numbers. Perhaps the best known vessel connected with the Chesapeake Bay, these vessels possessed a highly raked mast and a large amount of sail area, giving them the power necessary to haul the dredging equipment used to collect oysters. Our model represents a 48 foot long vessel known as an "Oyster Pirate". Operated by poachers and pursued often by the authorities, they dredged at night on oyster beds reserving by the law for tonging, and were known for their speed. The Skipjack's continued use is decreed by state fishery laws, since they do far less damage to the oyster beds than a fleet of modern power dredges. At the turn of the century, approximately 2000 Skipjack's comprised the oyster fleet. There are now less than 40 remaining in the United States today.
Build a little piece of American history!
Midwest's Apprentice Boats are modeled after the original boats used in the 1800s and early 1900s. When you build these boats, you will learn real boat building techniques with different types of hull construction such as lapstrake and strip planking. The hull of each boat is built on a frame, just like the real thing.

Good pillow, useless case
Color: Grey, Size: S-16 X 12 Inch
Nice pillow, small and portable. No horrible smell. Negative 1 star for the carrying case which is twice the size of the pillow. If you think you will use it to compress your pillow for travel, think again. It just expands back in the bag. Totally useless unless you’d like to store rocks in the bag instead.

Great for car naps and family road trips.
Color: Grey, Size: S-16 X 12 Inch, Color: Grey, Size: S-16 X 12 Inch
Adjusts to any position, no weird smell, packs well and hangs from headrest. Soft, supportive, and easy to clean after kid messes. Slightly bulkier than some, but the comfort is worth it!

A Travel Pillow That Actually Works!
Color: Sky Blue, Size: M-17.7 X 13.8 Inch
I fly fairly often and have gone through a few different pillows that I thought would be great but left me disappointed! I’m honestly so happy with this pillow. It fits easily in my backpack, and it doesn’t look ridiculous if I hanging it on my backpack if I’m packing a lot. It’s thick enough to support my head against the window/wall without feeling too bulky. I usually sleep really poorly on planes, and I’m not going to say that this was the magic charm, but I definitely slept more comfortably. It’s also great support against your lower back if you’re not sleeping. Some have mentioned a smell, but honestly it just smells like memory foam usually does and it’s not overpowering. I’ve only used for a few flights so far but I love it!

Nice travel pillow
Color: Apricot Pink, Size: S-16 X 12 Inch
Works well as a pillow to support my elbow while I’m driving. It was too full to use as a pillow to place my head on at night since I am a side sleeper. There is no way to remove some of the memory foam to make it flat enough to use as my bedtime pillow. I liked the soft pink zippered cover as it works well and makes it easy to remove and wash. I didn’t notice any smell.
