Replication and Restoration

Ways of Making Maritime Heritage

Eric Laurier

Early critiques of heritage were often elitist and treated it as a shallow enter tainment for the masses based on class-biased accounts of history. Current debate around heritage pictures it as a field where multiple understandings of the past are being produced, not just popular and elitist. This article is devoted to the two social practices of replication and restoration which fab ricate heritage objects and understandings of those objects. It follows and interprets the making of two boats: the Matthew, a major maritime heritage project which was related to urban development, and the Elk, a hobbyist's small scale restoration project more related to personal development. Ques tions are raised about materializing the past, recording materialization in narrative and the performance of masculinity in and through heritage. Based on ethnographic and documentary research this article is written in a style which reveals something of the materials and processes of its construction without that reflexive something becoming everything.

Key Words: ethnography • maritime heritage • masculinity • narrative • performance • replication • restoration • social practices • time
