Boat deacessioning

[Ben Fuller]

Not waiting for John Brady to post this, in their wisdom, the Independence Seaport Museum is deaccessioning some of their boats. A fleet of sneakboxes, railbird skiff, a catboat, and a delicious ducker. I can see some reasons, duplication etc. Some are fine John Brady copies of traditional types. Some have me wondering. Hope that these find good caring homes.https://wiederseim.hibid.com/catalog...y-sale/?q=boat

With two boats at the water and five more in the garage, I think I'll refrain. But I will browse and dream.

I'd be dead meat if I dragged another boat home, but I would love to have that catboat!

At least I learned a new word today: deaccessioning.

I'm digging that Seabright skiff.

The Catboat! Those are good prices

So glad it's on the wrong coast! That Finger Lakes boat is very appealing.

I am close to the auction site. Very tempting!

Those are good prices!

Beautiful catboat! The sailing garvey looks like a lot of fun too.

Ducker looks like it has a non traditional rig, chainplates etc. Also no way to row it, so clearly meant as a recreational boat. Still would be a nice one.

The Cricket is enticing.
As I recall these were sailed double handed with a sliding seat for the crew.
Rod Mincher writes about them o the earwigoagin blog.

Lot #240 Ladies Gig "Mary" is a nice boat. All Spanish Cedar planking. Not as light as she could be but still rows nicely.

Lot #250 Reproduction Garvey Skiff is a good sailing boat with the ketch rig. Looks like both masts are there but might be missing the mainsail and mainsail sprit? A heavily built boat. Carries nicely under sail and the 2 sail rig makes her very handy. Would be a good family boat.

Interesting…

Well,….. I now own three more boats. :O

So cool
They are in good hands.

So, it isn't just me. And I only have five boats at home.

you guys are lightweights!

I think this brings my count up to 18!

18? I don't feel so bad about the six boats hanging around the property (plus one in the water) now.
