Recently, three members of the old Hyde Street Pier Model Shipwrights group, Paul Reck, Tom Shea, and Clare Hess, met up for lunch at the Buena Vista Cafe just up the block from the Hyde Street Pier. It wasn’t a club-related gathering, just a social one. But, one thing that was brought up was the idea of having a ship model meeting again. It is, after all, a good way to create incentive to build and learn.

While our own SF based ship model club no longer has access to our old model shop aboard the ferryboat Eureka, which is still sitting at the pier, years after we got moved off, there is he possibility of having a gathering at the SF Maritime Research Center in Lower Fort Mason’s ‘E’ building. We’re now looking at that possibility.

If this happens, it will most likely take place during a weekday, most likely on a Monday. If anyone would be interested in attending, message us, or reply to this post.
