st george Posted May 20, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) I was not sure if many people were aware of this proposed project and decided to share it here. I for one hope it is a success, as much as the French L'Hermione at Rochefort is. (She now has her masts in place). Enthusiasts in Deptford, south-east London, propose to build a replica of the Restoration warship Lenox in the dockyard where she was originally built. Already hundreds of people in Deptford and beyond are embracing the magnitude and power of this project. Based on other successful schemes in Europe, the Lenox project aspires to create jobs, build transferable skills, bring pride to Deptford, and create tourism and identity.

Anja Posted May 21, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 21, 2013 Hello St.George, I wasn't aware of this. Thank you very much for sharing this. This is a great initiative. Take care, Anja Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

st george Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted May 21, 2013 Anyone interested in the Lenox might like to read the book called The Restoration Warship by Richard Endsor. 1/48 scale plans of the Lenox are available from the Auther aswell. avsjerome2003 1 Quote David Current Build : HMAV Bounty - Amati Next Build : 18th Century Longboat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
