Today has a beautiful bright blue sky and 80 degree temperatures so I thought I would take some outdoor pictures of the Morgan.

Well, I did sneak into the shipyard for a little bit and built the Spanker Gaff and Boom. Every little bit is a little progress. Still have much to do out of the shipyard to get ready to leave in May, but I'll sneak some time in here and there....

Got an hour in today so the progress is the Vangs. I guess a line a day will get the ship built or something like that.

Hi George, thanks for the picture. I've seen these before on board her. She's actually on the Houston Ship Channel at the location of the San Jacinto battleground (about 40 miles north of Galveston), which is where Sam Houston defeated Generalissimo Santa Ana and the Mexican army for independance from Mexico in March of 1836 when Texas became The Republic of Texas an independant nation. I always love to see the Texas - she's a WWI Dreadnaught Battle Ship. She took a 16" shell during WWII to the Bridge which they have on display as it didn't blow up. Cool museum with many model ships on display there. I've been on her about 4-5 times. Cool picture.

Been going over one of the books I picked up today and found a pic of the Texas under way during WWII. Remembered you saying you were on her at Galveston where she's berthed and thought you might like to see a pic of her on the job.

Hi Gary, absolutely, I'd be glad to do that for you. I could also post them in the Gallery section of my website if you want. Preferably the pictures should be around 500k size and .jpeg - for ease of transmitting and space. Mr. Murphy can get testy at times, know him well...

Hi Gary, no problem, you might send me one to the address I sent you in the PM, I can tell from it if it will be ok or not. I assume these will come from a digital camera??? Phone pictures don't work too well for me. My AOL address can handle about 20 MB uploads at a time.

That would be really good. I would especially enjoy having it on your website. I know less than nothing about how to go about formatting digital photograghs for such. I will talk to my daughter about it next time I see her. She is a golly~gee ~whiz at anything to do with computers,wheras her father is totally baffled by computers~for~dummies.Although Idid get to be a fair hand with auto~cad back in my coal mining days,Iwas a lot like one of the apes over at the Yerkes primate facility. If I punched the buttons for bananas and apples,and a grapefruit appeared, Ihad no clue.

Yesh, I'm familiar with most of those. When Scaleshipyard came out with that hull back around 1997-8 I almost bought it. That was when I was contemplating the Kennedy. Nimitz was then next carrier built after Kennedy, so I thought I would use the hull and build the flight deck and Island of the Kennedy. The basic hulls were the same. I had a 35'x16' workshop at the time...ahhh - divorce....sure changes things. I had a kit of the Enterprise in 1:350 and all the brass photoetch also, but never built it and no longer have it either. When do we get to see pictures of your Morgan????? How about a build log???
