The Exciting Online Dwight Brooks Model Collection Now Open for Viewing!
In 1997, the fledgling Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM) received a most unusual gift—32 large-scale fully-operational Dwight Brooks boat models—a gift that would enable the museum to open in less than three years, on July 29, 2000. You may have seen some of these models on display in the Museum—especially Nordkap and Toot-Toot—but now, through the magic of computers and the Internet, SBMM can make all of this collection accessible to the public at https://sbmm.org/sbmm-online-collection/brooks-ship-models/
