Hello everyone

[JoppaFlats]

Seems like a good group of ship builders, so hoping you have room for another apprentice.
I am from the coast of NE Massachusetts and have grown up with boats and ships.
Saw the tall ships back in the early 70s even come in to our port.
I purchased the Shipwright series and getting close to finishing the dory.
By the way I can walk to Lowells Boat Works in 10 minutes.
Hoping to progress beyond the 3 in the series, and I'm sure I will pickup ideas in here.
There was a beautiful 2 masted schooner in the harbor for many years but she was sold her name was Heart's Desire.

A warm welcome Dave. Plenty of room for a new apprentice.
You can start your own build log if you wish, show your progress, get advice if you want and inspire others.
You will find here on SoS a great and friendly community of people sharing a great hobby.

If you are curious, according to the video I saw online, the Hearts Desire is now in San Francisco Bay. I had to look it up.
Welcome to the forums. This is a great group of model builders with some at a very high level of experience.
If you run into a challenge, You can always ask on here.

Again, Welcome !

also from my side a warm welcome here on board of our forum

The mentioned schooner is really a very fine boat

SOLD - 43' 1925 Alden Schooner - OffCenterHarbor.com

With mixed emotions we have decided to list HEART'S DESIRE for sale. I had hoped to take her through her centennial but I guess that will be an honor she will bestow upon her next owner. HEART'S DESIRE is a wonderful boat full of history and grace—a yacht version of the great American Fishing...

You can charter this boat for 2 hours (or longer)

ahh, I guess now she is in Portland (Maine).

In Newburyport her hull was green. They would come up the river to the mooring buoy under sail sometimes. There was also an older catboat named Rosebud I think that sailed in the harbor.
When I complete this series I will see where it takes me.
