That's a lot of boat for a buck !!!
Glad someone is going to "love it" again.

Would really like to see the progress made with it with the new owner.

A museum bought her and transfered her to Boston this spring.

I saw her in Newport , RI on May 28th while out on a harbor tour. Got a little snippet of history from our tour guide. Pretty neat!
Then , saw her again again on June 1st in the Boston Harbor while crossing on the water taxi to the airport.
Glad to see she is in good hands.

It is interesting to tour old boats. The last on I was on was the Mather in Cleveland. I bought one link from her rode. The link weighs about 40#.
