| This is a beautiful build. I have an Italian kit of an America's Cup Racer in storage so long I can't remember the name, but I probably should see if th emice got into it. This is inspirational. I do remember it sank off Sable Island. You should start your own museum. How big is this ship? |

| BrianKilby Like all steel hulled ships of this era, they were concidered the first ships of the modern Navy they were successors of the civil war Iron clads they had back then, at one time in our history the great white fleet represented the power of America a Nation to Recon with. thanks for your reply Boats |

| Three feet and nine inches! I am telling you this would look great in that pond with all the sailboats! Batten down all hatches, stow all gear and prepare to ram! That bow could be modified or at least beefed up with some A36 steel plate, put an edge on it, get the old girl up to a few knots and lets see what chance that plastic hull has with Force = Mass X Acceleration. You have the mass and with enough power that other variable goes in the right direction. Gotta go, need to move some nuclear Fuel here. That gives me another idea! |
