Great Big Gig Build
1 June 2015 - 7 April 2016
In a first for the Maritime Museum, this exciting new project will see a team of wounded, injured and sick armed forces personnel and veterans building their own specially adapted Cornish pilot gig to compete in the 2016 World Pilot Gig Championships.
The project, which is partly funded by the Armed Forces Community Covenant Grant, will see participants working with renowned gig builder Andrew Nancarrow and visitors will be able to see the construction as it happens in the Museum's workshop gallery.
