Good morning Bill. Lovely progress. Very neat work. Cheers GrantHello everyone,
Time for a little update. I have gotten the bulwarks planked and I have started planking the deck. I'm not very good at managing a build log. Hopefully I will get better at it and make it more interesting as I go along.

Good morning Bill. Taking your time definitely paid off. Lovely decking. Cheers GrantAlright. I've finished with the deck planking. I'm happy with the way it turned out. Just a finish work with the forward and aft plank termination's, then it will be on to the hull planking.

I really enjoyed my time at the Seaport, felt like a kid walking into a Candy Store at times. As an FYI I spent time working in the Ships Document and Research Department. While there I had access to all the historical documents and photos of the Morgan. Amazing pictures of when the Museum acquired her, in original condition. I was able to obtain some good reference material and documentation. My plan is, at some point, to build a version of the pre-restored Morgan using the Model Shipways Kit (need to finish my Kate Cory). Hope you get up there someday!Thanks Quint. Your time at Mystic Seaport must have been a lot of fun. I would love to someday get up to see the Charles Morgan.
