Hi, Bouler,

The vessels of the "Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge" - Halifax to Belfast -
are now in harbour. My grandson is very happy with his visit to the pirate
ship "Black Pearl". He is too young to read her real name but you and I both
know her as - "Bounty"

Part description of the origonal ship of which the current vessel is a
larger replica:

"The Burthen of the Ship was nearly 215 Tons; Her extreme length on deck
90Ft..10In. & breadth from outside to outside of the bends 24Ft..3 in. A
Flush deck & a pretty Figure Head of a Woman in Riding habit; She mounted 4
four pounders & 10 Swivels & her Complement was............."
