Just finished a website for 'Flower of Caithness', a traditional wooden gaff schooner designed by Murray Peterson in Maine U.S.A. in 1934 and built in Scotland in 1997 as a faithful copy of the 19th century American coasting schooners.
Oooh she is gorgeous!
I met her almost sister ship Mary Bryant a few times in Antigua, Bermuda and New England when she was out here in 1995 - another very fine vessel indeed, with a most excellent skipper in the form of Anna.
I think that Anna subsequently sold MB, and is now involved with the pilot cutter Marguerite T?
Yes they are beautiful boats. I remember drinking whisky in the moonlight in on Mary Bryant with Anna Stratton in Acarseid Mhor some time in the early 90s. We had 3 boats rafted on one very big anchor, MB was the smallest in the raft!
