Captain Jim-sib Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Just got the heads up on this documentary on the History Channel this Saturday. Will deal with the construction of the new Godspeed that is based in Jamestown, Va. Link: http://plateofpeas.com/godspeed/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Alva Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I caught it Sunday Morning, and it was fantastic..... a lot of time-lapse footage, but they did visit many important stages of construction.....the sailmaker was a really fun segment...... I also loved the fact that they placed a silver dollar under the mainsail, in accordance with naval tradition...... of course, it's probably smashed flat now, but it's still cool.....

Aurore Devareaux Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I caught this Saturday night, as well, and found it most interesting. It is one thing to read how things were done, being able to watch it with detailed explination is another thing entirely. I was very intregued by the segment detailing the caulking process.
