Dutchman Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 well folks, I have finally gotten off my duff and posted a couple new pictures of our project, LUNA. She is Royalistes sister. the pictures are looking forward, aft and down to the aft cabin. Now that the cover is over we were able to rip the rotten cabin and quarter deck off. now the fun begins!! To see the whole project visit www.colonialseaport.org of course, i used the camera phone so it looks horrible but you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Sterling Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Good to know... :angry: Um read the post over at the webpage regarding the Luna, are you really outfitting her for early 1800s or is that a misprint?

JohnnyTarr Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Where are you restoring her? I would love to work on a project like this. Git up of your asses, set up those glasses I'm drinking this place dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchman Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 doooh, thanks sterling. not sure how that one got missed. I'll set the webmaster on it ASAP. Indeed, she is to be outfitted late 1600's- early 1700's. It's been great, people have heard about the project and have produced all sorts of "extras" from old boats that were destroyed.

michaelsbagley Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Ya know, I hardly ever peak down here in "The Way to a pirate's..." But I saw this thread and had to look. Wow, nice!I wish you all the best of luck with this Dutch! It looks like it will be gorgeous when it is done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 thanks, I'll probably bring some pieces to Beaufort. Definitely have pictures and a few of the work gang are going as well. Her hull is 2 inch cedar on oak frames. Almost all of the frames need to be replaced, but the cedar planks are hard as nails. We are busting 1/4 inch thick stainless marine fasteners like they are toothpicks. She was originally a ketch, but we are adding a combed aft deck and rigging her as a bermuda sloop instead. Currently, we are toying with four four pounders and a couple of railguns for firepower- but that is VERY speculative right now. We need to get her floating first. I've got my block of wood drying for the figurehead and hope to be able to start on that in the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby Wilde Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Let me know if you need any help on that figurehead. What have you got in mind? I had some ideas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
