New Mast, On its way

Christeen's new mast seen above, being turned at Historical Seaport's spar shop is about ready to be shipped over from the great state of Washington to the Western Waterfront. Historical Seaport did a rough turn for us getting the mast down to the approximate dimensions. The shipwrights and volunteers will then shape the mast as needed as to recreate an identical, historically accurate replica of the existing mast. The mast should arrive by early January along with the new keel. Preparations for both are moving along nicely, but there is much work still to be done!

Below is a video of a similar mast being turned for a replica of the one of Columbus' ships, the Nina.
