Sorry about that - I tried to share one of the better articles (some were horrible, some inaccurate etc). Regrettably, nearly impossible for lay user to know the strange behaviors of websites across all browsers and possible blockers. In other words, it worked fine for me.

 

Basically, under calm conditions the mast snapped injuring 3 and killing one (a doctor from the local area). Incident occurred at end of 4 day cryise about 1 mile outside the breakwater. USCG along with local FD responded.

Try reading it via the link on a mobile phone. Worked fine for me.

 

Sad outcome.

The ELIE MARA  kit by Blue Jacket is based on the GRACE BAILEY schooner in the article.  The kit was reviewed here and in the NRJ.  The GRACE BAILEY has an interesting history going back to 1882.

Happening on this side of the pond too. Recently a official study showed that the much needed knowledge on historical wooden ships is not sufficiently available at the official organisation that certifies these older wooden ships. Resulting in safety certificates that should not have been issued, which in turn leads to accidents involvong heavy injuries or death….
