I Bought a Wooden Ship… Then Needed a Lumber Van
Head to MarinerSpirit.com to support this project!
I was about to spend $5000 on roughly 200 board feet of white oak for the restoration of Lady Hawk, our 1934 Danish wooden ship.
Instead, we somehow ended up with MORE lumber… and a 1971 Dodge Tradesman van.
So in this episode, we head north to Comox to inspect the van, get it running again, and visit a local mill sourcing massive Garry oak slabs from a wind fallen tree that originally fell in Victoria.
The tree’s journey is continuing in a strange way now. After being trucked north and milled on Vancouver Island, it’ll soon become part of Lady Hawk as we slowly transform her from an old Danish fishing vessel into a Pacific sail cargo ship bound for Mexico.
Along the way:
* we load massive slabs into the van by hand
* reorganize and demolish parts of the workshop
* build proper storage for Lady Hawk projects
* repair Thunder Child’s exhaust manifold before haul out
* and slowly begin turning chaos into something capable of restoring a wooden ship
This project has become a lot bigger than just a boat.
