I don't know, David. Keith continues sawing up the dinning room furniture, the house remodeling project is done, and now Ann has received her 50th Wedding Anniversary present, what's to make her want to keep him about underfoot? In all seriousness, Keith. Congratulations on your's and Ann's 50th wedding anniversary. One of life's major milestones. -

For the railroad buffs in the group... there is also L.I.R.R. ANNEX BOAT painted on the lower front of the Pier 13 building. The below Wikipedia link that goes into the Long Island Railroad history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Long_Island_Rail_Road The history of the Montauk Steamboat Company and the history of the Long Island Railroad connection and their connection is a fascinating rabbit hole to explore but enough of this rabbit hole, I should finish Billy's bow today.

Thank you, John. Further information.....I noticed the sign "Montauk Steam" and thought what the heck, let me look that up and to my delighted surprise the following came up on Wikipedia. What a great thing the internet can be! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montauk_Steamboat_Company The Montauk Steamboat Company, Ltd. was located at Pier 13, East River, New York City, US. It was established in 1853.[1] It operated steamboats between New York City and the eastern end of Long Island. The boats ran along the north shore of Long Island. There were also steamboats to Block Island, Rhode Island where connections were made with Providence and Newport.[2] Henry Francis Cook was its president;[3] David Van Cleaf was its superintendent.[1] The company was sold to the Long Island Rail Road Company in 1899 after a deal was struck with Joseph Fahys & Co. who held the majority stock in the steamboat company.[4] The company office was later moved to Long Island City, Queens, New York.[5]

Welcome to MSW. Great looking model, glad to have you aboard.

One of the side benefits of doing research is coming across great historical images. The following photo was taken in New York Harbor and has nothing to do with Billy but is a fantastic image full of rich detail being perfect for those who want or are trying to replicate the past.

I could find very little but they seem to be linked to Betty Models, a China based manufacture. Myself, I wouldn't knowing buy one of their kits. There are too many well know and trusted brands/manufactures to make purchases from. See MSW's list of approved vendors. https://www.bettymodels.com/ship-models_c40?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22641265625&gbraid=0AAAAABX_hftJGwjYdwi5c3sIL3kN4h2qD&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8PHL0qjCkQMVNE5HAR1omSNsEAAYASAAEgLyTPD_BwE

Thank you, Tom. During the making of the name board there were times when a alcohol fire sounded like a fine idea. Thank you for the kind words, James John, thank you ever so much. Thank you kindly, Kurt.

Eberhard, you deserve an explanation as to the why of it. I am using 6X glasses to work by but those letters are very small. While the pen points are small landing the pen points exactly where they need to land and not be on either side of the line but dead center is difficult even with as steady of a rest as I can make. As is I had to trace the letters with a dull point where the pen tip had a channel to follow and I still ran off course occasionally. For myself, there comes a point where it's okay as is, better leave well enough alone. I would rather the lines be less than perfect width wise and somewhat straight than try to make them wider and in the process have wiggly lines. Does that make sense?

You're a hard taskmaster, Eberhard. As I said, it's far from perfect but as I also said, I'm done, no mas.
