About the Artist

Even though I grew up in the Midwest, I have always admired the graceful lines of sailing ships. I have been constructing model ships since 1963 and specialize in historic sailing ships utilizing plank-on-frame construction. My ships have been featured at the Rockport Center for the Arts and The Texas Maritime Museum where my ship, The Apostol Felipe, was awarded first prize in their 2007-08 exhibit 'Scaling the Seven Seas'.

Jack Niederkorn is a retired environmental microbiologist living in Rockport with his wife,
Dottie. He loves to fish and travel, and each summer visits Northern Michigan where he fishes for Salmon and searches for driftwood for his model ships.
