Ghosts of wooden ships.

Historical exhibit created for the AC Marriott waterfront hotel in Vancouver, Washington, built over the former site of a WWI wooden shipyard. The wood used in the display was milled from original pilings pulled from beneath the hotel’s foundation. The 20 ft. wide installation is a popular experience for guests and staff, the community, and the local historical society.
