I'm restoring a pirate ship built in the early 1900. the ship was built by three inmates in a Georga prison. The ship is 5.6 feet long 14 inch wide and 5 ft high. no sail plank on frame construction the ship was quite dirty. I also had a Fiji mermaid to restore. a small ship that needs work and new sails and a raft I removed all the cannon and deck furniture. and rigging wash the ship with soap and water.
