In Response To: Re: Baltimore Harbor - Part 2 (Robert Woodard)

Here's the homepage if your interested

The way they restored it was really neat.

They wanted to preserve as much of the ship as possible. Since it was in such terible shape, a traditional rebuild would ave meant removing and disgarding 90% of the original wood.

Basically the took off the old planking and made a 3 layer cold-moulded hull the same thinkness.

It is now a stress-skin hull almost completely taking the load off the old frame timbers which remain.

I was there before the rebuild, they let us o all the way down the the bilge, talk about a leaker!

I'll have to go back and see her again.
