The restoration of the Navy Whale Boat  is an amazing transformation to watch at Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-op.  Pete Rust has installed the shear strake, the blocking and the bulkheads.  The vessel’s owner and his son, Tristan, come often to work on the boat themselves.  Here are photographs of recent construction in November.
