East Ender Posted February 2, 2023 #1 Posted February 2, 2023 Hello to all from coastal Virginia, near Deltaville on the Chesapeake Bay, where Chesapeake Bay Deadrise crabbing boats are built and used. Originally and growing up along Long Island Sound on the far east end of Long Island,N.Y. , I look forward to reading about the fine aspects of model ship building. My first kit, Bluejackets Grand Banks Dory is on my bench. I've been watching videos by Tom Lauria, who has given me much inspiration,and have learned much from him with his YouTube videos. I am transitioning from building balsa r/c flying, so I have some basics with working with wood, but not nearly enough experience with ships. I need to get building as my wife is getting tired of me saying I need to buy another tool for this project. Glad to be here, East Ender ccoyle, Dave_E, Landlubber Mike and 3 others 6 Quote Tim Lent
allanyed Posted February 2, 2023 #2 Posted February 2, 2023 Super warm welcome to MSW EE. Were you anywhere near Goldsmith Inlet in Peconic? It has been a few years now, but there was some great clamming in that little bay! And then you wind up in the land of Chesapeake Bay salty bottoms - you are a lucky guy!! Starting with the GB dory is a very smart move. I will not be surprised to see you tackle a bugeye or skipjack down the road.

East Ender Posted February 3, 2023 Author #6 Posted February 3, 2023 Thanks to all for the warm greetings. Alan, I grew up in Shoreham, fished , swam and scuba dived all along the North Shore. I'm very familiar with Goldsmith's inlet. Worked at Grumman in Calverton for 20 years, F-14. Miss the Sound, Peconic Bay and the Ocean. mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote Tim Lent
allanyed Posted February 3, 2023 #7 Posted February 3, 2023 EE My first ocean scuba dive was around a WWII submarine pier at the north fork but that was in '69 so I have no idea where it was exactly, but it was COLD in April or May. We got no fish there but we did get a deer (with the car) on the way there. Good memories for me and I am sure MANY more for you.

East Ender Posted February 5, 2023 Author #14 Posted February 5, 2023 Hello Ryland and thanks for the welcome and information. I live only a few minutes from the museum in Deltaville. It's a beautiful museum. As you know, there was a devastating fire there some years back, and I helped fight that fire. I remember some of the Deltaville firefighters saving various ship models and furniture from burning. I was running a Hartfield VFD Tanker shuttle during the fire . It was a very sad day for the community. As for the Mariners Museum in Newport News, I will be visiting it shortly. I live on the Piankatank River in Hartfield where some Civil War history occurred, involving the Union Blockade action which involved the USS Tulip. The story can be read in the book The Chesapeake Bay in the Civil War. Prowler901, Ryland Craze, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Tim Lent
