Another sad little schooner arrived for restoration. Her keel broken off and all the top masts broken off. Let this be a lesson to all who have models and intend moving house.

Models need to be handled by th owner/ builder themselves. Other people do not care how they move them and secure them during the move. They do not appreciate the skill, time and all the effort the maker has put into them let alone do not either know or appreciate the value of some historic models.

I have started creating an album and posted afew pictures of this sorry little sailing ship. A good friend of mine Roy hawthorne has taken on this restoration and is a master builder on sailing ships.

Regards,

Bernhard
