香港作為一個港口城市，在19世紀中葉見證了造船業的蓬勃發展。然而，由於香港社會的轉型，逾百年歷史的手工造船業卻在城市的演進、科技的發展中步入式微。中式三帆木船逐漸淡出歷史舞台，傳統的造船工業日落西山，與之沒落的還有手工造船技藝與工匠精神，造船老匠更是面臨著後繼無人的局面。我們將活動與海事博物館的展品緊密結合，希望能引起參觀者對於底層海事勞動者的關注，以工匠精神为线索，結合想像力和經歷，慢下腳步，重新審視蘊藏人類文明的海事歷史。

Hong Kong, a port city, witnessed the boom of the boat-building industry in the mid-19th century. However, as Hong Kong society transformed, the century-old industry met with many modern challenges and is now waning. Grand Chinese junks faded away, while the skillful craftsmen behind those hand-made wooden boats are aging and facing a lack of successors to carry on their work, leading to the decline of their craft and loss of craftsmanship spirit. Through the collections at HKMM, our project aims to bring visitors’ attention to maritime labor, specifically the boat builders. With their spirit of craftsmanship as the starting point, we encourage visitors to combine imagination with experience, slow down and revisit our maritime history.
