The Boat Who Wouldn't Float - why not?
 

Just finished re-reading Farley Mowat's "The Boat Who Wouldn't Float" and
although it's a great read, I'm always frustrated by the ending. OK,
Farley be b'y probably got the story by re-telling the Tall Tales he heard
in Newfie bars, but there's usually SOME truth to any Tall Tale. And,
although they did EVERYTHING I could think of to fix the leak (including
epoxying the entire hull!) it still leaked. Then, at the end of the story,
"Doc Dawson, the shipyard owner" did SOMETHING and "she hasn't leaked a
drop ever since".

Anybody know the Real Story? Why did she leak, and what did the Venerable
Doctor do to cure it?
