The Seldom-Seen Beauty by Weezilou

The Seldom-Seen Beauty

I was delighted to see the beauty of this boat when we drove by Snyder's Shipyard...the beauty that will go unseen once the boat is back in the water. I'm guessing that this is a fishing boat...nothing of special note out on the sea. I know nothing of shipbuilding, but to see such a large "bottom", it would seem to me, from an engineering or architectural standpoint that it would be hard to roll in rough seas.

Life here in Nova Scotia is a new education. I'd love to learn anything you "Old Salts" care to add to the conversation!

@aglennc Our flight out of NS is Dec 11...stopping in Chicago for a week and back about the 17th, I think. M\Even miserable as the weather is today, we'll certainly miss being here... It's become a part of who we are...and we never expected that! Hope to see you when we come back!

Well , I can teach you. Ina`s father was a ship carpenter I always admire his skills and job. Ship building is a part of education of being a mate. And I `ve been . But building a wooden ship That is something special. Great nice shot of the hull.
