Back in November 2009, I did this post and I’ll repost two of my fotos from then, showing a 1940 Chris Craft and a 1939 ACF, slightly tweaked here
and here.
Earlier this week, Darrin Rice got these followup pics.
I find these poignant, yet there is some buoyancy in that
it appears this old vessel is being taken apart with care so that
planks and sections of them can be recycled, evoking what’s happening nearby. You couldn’t do this with old fiberglass.
Many thanks to Darrin Rice for these fotos.
Here’s a site dedicated to antique and classic wooden boats in varying states of repair.
Here are some tugster posts on projects and collections.

There’s a great naval architect’s site that shows this in reverse, with wooden and steel construction photos of his designs. http://www.dieselducks.com
