Build the Lenox

[st george]

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.

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.
