Meatbox8 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Absolutely beautiful work and a terrific lesson in seamanship from you. Having just read the 'To the Ends of the Earth' trilogy by William Golding this really brings it to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that you love real airplanes too.I am an ex-pilot and my dad and I restored a 1929 Travelair biplane back in the 60s.She is now in a museum due to lack of engine parts.Cheer! John.

Thanks for taking the effort to post so many good pictures Your a lucky guy and I am sure that they will restore her to her original glory.As my grandmother used to say "the sun never sets on the Engish empire".Those were good or bad days however you look at it but there was magnificent beauty in those old ships.She often mentioned Nelson and spoke in all those old English nautical terms.
