sailed the Susan Contant (armed merchentman- 8 falcons, 4 swivals) from jamestown to portsmouth, Va. today, the helm is a whip staff it was very educational to helm a ship using that method of steering.
I am more jealous then I can say. Wait. No I can say. I'm very jealous, not only that you stood helmsman on a ship, but because it was the Susan Constant. My family comes through Jamestown and I haven't been back that way in years, and I haven't been aboard the S.C.
