Shiphappens Posted August 28 #1 Posted August 28 Hello all! I’m an avid reader and became fascinated by books about shipwrecks, exploration, and survival. Some of my favorites have been, “Down the Great Unknown: John Wesley Powell's 1869 Journey of Discovery and Tragedy through the Grand Canyon”, “Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World”, and of course, “Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage”. My interest in vessels themselves piqued as I continued reading. After learning about how sailors made ships in bottles, I made my own. With little woodworking experience, I whittled a little ship based off of a medieval cog, hinged a mast and rigged it with thread. While a little “rustic”, the project was a success in bringing me closer to my new field of interest and pointed me towards model ships. After seeing that there was a community for this hobby, I found a good entry point in the Lowell Grand Banks Dory, which I’m currently working on but just wanted to jump in and say, “Hello!” JacquesCousteau, Keith Black, Knocklouder and 4 others 7
