If you would lie a high resolution image of this schooner, I would be happy to send it to you as an attachment. Thanks for the background info.
I just saw this entry. I would be delighted to have this copy. Someday when I have photos of many more vessels I would like to attach a photo of the vessel on each of my histories. And may I make this one available to others? spberry@att.net.
I will send you a high resolution image via your e-mail.
