Mildred Belle
The “Mildred Belle” is an authentic Chesapeake Bay “buy boat” operated by Living Classrooms Foundation. It was originally built in Odd, VA in 1948 and worked the Bay for many years hauling fish, crabs, and oysters to market.
Back in September, I 3D printed her and handed it off to Living Classrooms. See below a 3D print of the Mildred Belle on the actual ship.
