we’re away does she lay in the after
from the loft two points on our Li Bao
and about three miles off rebuilding
there is one thing and learning how that
works in how they built him and then how
they rigged her but these vessels were
designed to do one thing and that was to
sail they were never designed to be at
the dock they had to do it that that
wasn’t their designation so to learn
what we’re learning from this vessel is
a huge historical map she was built in
1841 started in the middle winter and
launched in July of 1841
amazingly she was built in under seven
months by a group of about sixteen men
and they even had a couple weeks strike
in there it gets better and better as
far as our understanding and we’re
getting as close as we’re going to get
one of the things that’s amazing for us
in the demonstration squad is the the
number of things that over the years we
found out we were so dead wrong about we
thought she was a slug a slug is is
completely unfair but much more sluggish
in responding than she in fact is her
ease of handling is phenomenal come to
appreciate the design of this you don’t
have a lot of like feasible touchable
things anymore that kind of connect us
to our history a lot of people forget
that we are a maritime nation and
especially with with boats and and maybe
traditional vessels like this as well
but it gives us a tie I think to our
history and I think that I think that’s
important I think that there’s something
about her being the last one the
preservation of a time that we almost
did this to the whales and we understand
how precious the few are it was the
whale oil that
that lubricated our Industrial
Revolution you keep the memory alive of
I mean just the influence that that
whaling had on American history in
general and it’s lower your boats
poisoned be of good Cheers
get your tubs in your boats pose keep
your bow lines all clear now bend to
your oars and make your boats fly one
thing we dread of keep clear of as I
