Wow Steve, that looks like a masterpiece in need of some TLC, mostly in the rigging department. Looks like he even coppered the hull. If it's not a project you want to take on, I'm sure you could find someone who would. It would be interesting to know more about the history of the build--it looks like there are some kitset (Mantua?) pieces--e.g., the guns and gunport frames and the bow fittings. Do you have pics of the stern?
