Repairing the National Museum's largest water-going vesselRestoration of this late 1800s nineteen-foot dory - the National Museum’s largest water-going vessel - is currently underway by traditional artisan Darwin Ebanks to maintain the historic integrity of the aged vessel, as Glee has seen previous repairs in 2003, and again in 2007 due to environmental challenges.  Glee is an important National Cultural Treasure known for her swiftness, reliability, and long history of service to Grand Cayman and more specifically, to the people of West Bay.
