It will be in St. Augustine at the end of the month. I'll be sure to take photos then.

I wonder what kind of diesel engines that ship has.

Interesting... This brings me back to the time when I tried to convince my father, a wooden boat builder, to build a nineteenth century clipper ship, sell it and retire rich. I think his response was something to do with me having rocks in my head... Well, someone else has gone and reproduced early ships.

All the treasure is at the box office selling tickets to tour her decks.
