A short walk from my boat is the schooner Dolphin, one of nine
schooners build by the Nazis to transport missiles to Peenemude.

It has the biggest prop I've seen on a sailing yacht. Lots of pictures
of the refit.


Good reason the prop was so big Bart. It was buildt to haul cargo in
heavy sea's at a reliable pace . And when buildt it was not a sailing
yacht at all. Great history of that boat. I wonder if its an early
model of Oak Planking or the latter with pine.

It would be nice to get boat number 10-20 with the bugs shook out and
still using quality materials. Those nazi's had some nice equipment
during the start of WWII. Have you seen their bravery medals from the
later part of the war? Made of bakelite plastic. Early one's were made
of Sterling Silver.

Now I could understand if Kerry threw plastic cheapo medals over the
fence, but bronze and silver stars.......what a dick.

"O bids", I guess they are not in particularly great demand. They'd look
good on my living room wall, but your ad says they have to be picked up in
Queens, oh well.
