A wee bit of LUNA-SEA

Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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.

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.
