Newsday, Special Report

TC McCarthy from Newsday stopped by on Wednesday (3/9/11) to visit the Christeen and check on the progress of the new keel. He was able to meet the shipwrights, some of the volunteers, and get a better handle on the scope of the actual project. As an outsider and reporter TC was thoroughly impressed with the complexity of the project what it all involved, and how much has happened in so little time. A credit to the people working on the job both the shipwrights and volunteers, without their incredible efforts the project would not have been possible. It is always good to have a new face around the shop to mix of the day and it puts things in perspective. When you are around a project of this size every day you can forget how truly amazing the entire thing is and the fact that it is even happening at all. He was able to catch the beginnings of fitting the frames and the keel to the boat and capture some of the atmosphere in the video below. Check it out!
