Thati s an original '20s Hudson River tug in for restoration

another interesting restoration is this one
a whale boat from a WW2 Destroyer Escort, USS Slater


and
the original foremast from an America replica built back in "95, pic under sail is above

the wood mast weights 4tons, it was replaced by a carbon fiber version weighing 1000lbs, It needed replacement after only a few years because of a little dry rot and the ministrations of an 18yr old crewman w/ a sabersaw
the end is just sticking out near the floor
