A smile for Skylark
Boatbuilder Rebecca MacAskill and colleague Ronnie Mckechnie are pictured alongside the Dunkirk Little Ship Skylark IX, at a new exhibition, Hope Floats, at the Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine, Ayrshire. The exhibition shows how the Dumbarton-based Skylark IX is maintained and how the boat’s story “of hope and resilience” is used to help people recovering from addictions, through engaging them in boatbuilding training.
