Rigging Underway
The Rigging and Fittings teams are working on getting yards and standing rigging ready for raising the yards in a couple weeks!
This Week at the Tall Ship Tent and Workshop
This week at the Tall Ship tent and workshop: rigging and fittings work progresses steadily, relaxation during daily crew lunch, some education with a great presentation on climate change in the arctic by David Thoreson, and Brad Bergman is loaning us a sewing machine, in anticipation of canvas work for Matthew Turner's interior and exterior.
Ships’ Projects
Today at the Shipyard, the crew is working on: dolphins to decorate Seaward for the lighted boat parade, fittings on the yards, and chart house port covers (for heavy weather).
