 Indian Ocean half model finished! Get up my friends, from in front of your computers and do the Dance of JOY, with me!!! Yaaa Yaaa YAAY YAAY Yaaaa Yaaaa !!! I am a happy carver!!! I finished the "Indian Ocean" half model and she looks wonderful!! To sit back now and see this image of an old sailing ship that was built right here on the River, just across from me, so many years ago. Her hull looked exactly like this as she slipped down the ways and first touched saltwater in 1851. Her masts and spars towered above the landscape and gave grace and speed to this workhorse of the seas. What a wonder of engineering they were, to balance a hollow form of such beauty with cargo, supplies, passengers and crew, to slip between the waves all around the globe on the breath of the wind, in every kind of sea and weather. Todays vessels look such clumbersome boxes in compare. To think, she was shaped from the local forests with just hand tools, it staggers the immignation. Sorry ..... sometimes I just can't contain myself!!!  Bob
