Thank you, Alan, for the interesting articles.
I have an Uncle who is a ship carpenter by trade (working to maintain, recreate, and restore wooden boats and ships), and I think he'll be quite fond of the Birlinn site.
Thank again!

Thanks so much for those links. As I once sailed quite a bit I was so interested in the pictures of the boats from the early middle ages to working lug sails boats to the peak of the wonderful designs of the yachts in the early 20th century... Fantastic

Wow, Alan, I had no idea! I'm on another forum called Pyracy.com, which is dedicated to maritime historical reenacment. I hope you don't mind me reposting it there, because there is some good reading here!
