Explore the career of Edward Marple, arguably one of the most talented ship model makers in the world. As a hobby chosen to pass the time made available due to illness and to use the skills he acquired as a dental technician, Marple immersed himself in the craft of model making. This exhibit explores the legacy of a man who began as a hobbyist and ended up creating some of the most stunning ship models ever crafted. Also featured will be an installation of the workshop and tools owned and used by Marple. The Channel Islands Maritime Museum is honored to display his entire collection, several pieces of which are featured in this exhibition
