The main mast yards aren't installed yet, so they aren't level, but the fore mast yards are pre-rigged and glued in.

She shows real spirit, even sailing on the dining room table. Jaden must be one happy camper to be a part of such a noble build. :)

Beautiful lines.........the ship had real grace!

"Had"?  She still does! LOL.   She's the oldest active duty war ship (or any ship for that matter) still afloat and sails under her own canvas regularly.  She's only in dry dock now for scheduled maintenance.  One of these days I hope to be in Boston for one of her short cruises around the harbor.

I recently discovered that France and Sweden have built nearly identical replicas of old sailing ships that they sail all over the world.  The fact that they're built much the same way as the originals is incredible.
