Did a 1767 ship really have that much headroom and a junk rig?

Just wondering what vessel it is supposed to replicate... It's not a
junk hull -well it was but not in the design sense.

That was the limeys.

Besides, now the security around the White House is much better.

A replica of an 18th-century schooner
hand-built by a Barnstable man sank in Halifax Harbor, in Nova Scotia,
when a retired naval warship broke free from its mooring during
Hurricane Juan and slammed into it.

Did everybody miss the word "retired", it was no longer a Canadian Navy
ship....

Whoever tied it up should have consulted Bobsplit for the correct
procedure for thimbling (sic)....

That's one more than all they sank in WW2, except their own.

The sinking of Larinda is sad indeed. Perhaps she can be repaired.



Really? What if a boat is made entirely of styrofoam? If it gets broken in
half,
will it sink at the same rate as a boat made of cement that gets broken in
half?

If a boat is made of a material like steel, might it possibly absorb a
greater
impact and dent, rather than shatter like a cement boat? If a steel boat
is
struck hard on the bow, will it crack like an egg all the way to the
stern?

If The Larinda had been made of another material, it is possible that it
might
have faired better, and also had greater hope of being repaired. Wood,
Fiberglas
or steel, you could cut out and replace a section. Ferro cement is a whole
'nother thing. It likely has fractures spiderwebbed throughout the entire
side,
or worse, from this.

I fully agree that what happened is a horrible shame.
