I don't see how they packed 1000+ New Yorkers on the General Slocum. Joe |

In the pic it looks like she's getting outpointed by the bigger boat, but it also looks like she could harden up quite a bit. I bet she was fast in her day. DSK |

She's the steamer that burned and sank in the East River killing over 1000. As it is, I want to find out who designed the "Acushla" and whether the plans still exist. Planning on the next carbon fiber project? Joe DSK |

As it is, I want to find out who designed the "Acushla" and whether the plans still exist. Planning on the next carbon fiber project? Nope, I'm about to lose my work shop. But I would like to have the plans to study & admire. If I wanted a boat like that, the Dark Harbor 17 is close enough. http://www.cuttercam.com/darkharbor/photos.html DSK |
