Thank you so much, Mark,

It's been way too long since I last noticed you commenting - guess it was on those incendiary things, and your glass grenade.
Do remind me if you don't see me posting new and phantastic items there within the next two weeks, OK?

Best as ever,
Michael

I drove to Provincetown early this morning to see the Whaler Charles W. Morgan as she was visiting there for the weekend . Unfortunately she was anchored out in the roadstead .
Something even nicer was also visiting and tied up alongside the wharf .
A Pinnace of 1625 vintage faithfully reproduced .
I am in love .

Yes, Michael, I must admit I'm a bit of a lurker these days! But I do very much enjoy reading all of the posts from folks (rather like a daily newspaper, but much more interesting-

)

Rick! you and me both! I went all the way to Boston on business and immediately went to see the U.S.S. Constitution. I did view her upper decks, but i had arrived too late to go below-

. left the next day to come home. I hope to see some of the truly great wrecks (The Mary Rose, Vasa, etc) someday. Thanks for posting this.
