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.
