It's always fun being out on the water, I'm glad you got to enjoy her!

Thanks, I don't know if you remember when she was sunk in the C & P
canal when she hit a barge at nite. Both the capt and his daughter
were ok.

I meant to add that she was hauled out by a crane and I never heard if
intentions were good to restore her. She looked pretty good when she
came to the surface and placed on a barge, by a big crane. I heard she
had a hole in the other side but never heard much again.
I have a picture of her before the accident, under sale, with topsails
and all . She had been completely rebuilt from the original 1911
Hereoff, BB Crowninshield plans.
