What a project!
Amazing to rebuild that ship. Can't imagine just looking at the hull.
Nice work on it.

The famous clipper ship Flying Cloud was built in East Boston...
Donald MacKay ( the builder ) is buried in a local cemetery.

What days those must have been with those ships plying the waters.

As promised, here is the latest update.
This will be a the last one for a while as the whole State is in lock down due to the corona virus.
We only have around 20-25 cases but it pays to be safe and sure.
The last pic shows the permit I was issued to access the opposite dock. The company that use that dock, Svitzer, were truly lovely and have given me access any time I like. They do all the towing (tug boats, etc) of all the shipping in the State and several countries around the world.
The windows and port holes you can see were not there in the ship originally. They were installed when the ship was being used as a hospital ship in one of its later lives.
Would have been dark with 300 passengers swinging from their hammocks without any light. There were four first class cabins at the stern, these will be recreated and furnished just as they were originally.
