Thanks Bob for sharing that great site with us. I found it very interesting. I'm from Groton, CT and have been in the shipbuilding industry for 26 years now. Even though most of my experience is with submarines I have also taken an interest in older sailing vessels. We are near Mystic Seaport, which I'm sure you are familiar with, as well as the U. S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT (home of the barque Eagle). There is also the Nautilus museum at the submarine base in Groton, CT which has many models.

Welcome to this Harbour Lights site. I hope to hear from you again in the future and thanks again for the Nautical Research Guild website, which I have added to my list of favorite sites.
