Default Beginning to look like a ship now.
Before you all go off on your week-end, thought I'd share these few pics with you. She's beginning to look like a ship now. Bowsprite and jib boom carved and installed, and all three lower masts carved and fitted. Enjoy.

Bob absolutly amazing what a work of art. Whats more amazing is the way you keep your workshop I cant even see across mine one day I will tidy it up and maybe I will find the 20 or so tools I am missing. You sir are one amazing artist. I would like to pay you a visit sometime and watch you at work.
Colin

Bob,
Beautiful! With that much draft, she must have hauled a lot of freight, hu? Tell us about the ship. Great to see the pictures and progress!

Thank you for the comments folks.

Colin....you are indeed welcome any time my friend. Always have a extra chair handy and something around to wash down the trail dust!

Wade....she indeed did haul a lot. She was 184' long by 36' wide and had a depth in hold of 29', registered in at 1625 tons. Launched in Saint John, NB, in 1851, she went to work for the Blackball Line on the Australia run, and at one point was the fastest ship on the run making a passage in a record 68 days. She carried many immigrants and cargoes for more than 15 years for them and later general cargo for another English company. She was later sold to a Norwegian company for the timber trade and in 1883 was driven ashore on Cape Cavendish, P.E.I. and wrecked. Her bones still lay there in shallow water and can be still seen today.

Bob
