Absolutely inspiring to have an idea and make it happen. The volunteer rebuild group will show you around and you can have a look at progress. Some of the wood even comes from Canada! I would love to this beautiful sailing ship have its first launch in a few years time. Who knows when this will be ?

What an amazing undertaking! The smell of oregon pine permeates the air. Someone will give you a guided tour and fill you in with the history of the area and ship. For $20 you can buy a 'plank of wood'! Your name is then displayed in the shed. All proceeds go towards the rebuild. A fantastic idea.
