| The Steam Jenny is working well |
On Tuesday this past week we started planking. We hung the starboard aft garboard first which was sponsored by Jim Lane, Zach's grandfather. (See our website for plank owner details). Despite all the snow it has been a great effort with so many people lending a hand. We have been able to get a lot done in the past day or so and slowly the schooner is starting to take shape. Last week, we had a great new arrival both to Essex and the boatyard, Justin Ingersoll who worked with Harold on the restoration of the schooner Ernestina at Boothbay Harbor shipyard in 2008/9. Justin is a graduate of the Landing School and is a skilled shipwright. When we saw him arrive in the yard in his 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass we couldn't get over our good fortune to have him here. He is a determined worker and a great help.
