The Museum's only 'floating exhibit, the Vanity is a 1929 Catboat built in 
Edgartown by Manual Swartz Roberts
in what is now the Old Sculpin Gallery on the waterfront. This beautifully restored 20' vessel was once a work-boat used
for fishing, scalloping, and summer charters. Today, Vanity is the Museum's
living link to the Island's maritime past. In keeping with true Catboat design, she is half
as wide as she is long, providing a very stable working and sailing platform.
