Saving a national treasure. And making it a modern research vessel. Ok, I get it. So why in the world, would you outsource for square nails? Why not silicone bronze screws so it doesn't have to endure the hardships imposed by all the previous owners. If the frames all need replaced, so do the fasteners. Even wooden trunnels would be better than square nails. Save the nails for a barn.
This is now 2019 where is the update I don’t find anything on what’s been done would like to see if it’s finished ?
