Capt. William T. Popples

I have to admit that I am very interested, as I am betwixt jobs it might be a good diversion for half a year.

Oh yeah! do ya have any pictures or sketches of the project? Love to see what yer up to...

So let me get this straight.... you are starting to build this Sept? or next?

Aye tis true, but as me mates say- " I'm on the same page as you, just not in the same book."

Very proud of ya!

Please say the west coast please please please......

Wow! There's some good ones in there, sorry I have none to offer but if it makes ya feel better I did get a little creeped out...

Sweet? Dill? Kosher? Gherkin? Spicey? Does it really matter.....

Right on, I'll take a look. :)

I used to be in the East Bay a few years ago, but now I call the port of Anchorage me home.

I'll go look for it soon, Thanks. Have you read "Farallon" ? It is an account of a crew stranded along the shore of Alaska arounf the turn of the century. Good reading.

WOW! Thanks for the article and map, good stuff!

Tha's too bad I would love to get a look at that.

Me personnaly, I carry a piercing dagger about 17" long from end to end, with a handle made of braided english seine cord. It lives in my boot most of the time. But I confess I wish I had me a smaller one for utility purposes.

I heard somewheres that a sailor should put a pickle in his pocket on his birthday for good luck. Not sure why...but I've heard it several times.

What I'd like to see here as well is some links to photos and drawings of ships either under construction or completed.

Fer my money it's gotta be either Roman Polanski's "Pirates" or the ever hilarious "Yellowbeard"

Thanks fer th tipoff lass, I'll be checkin it out soon.
