Blackjack - a Friendship Sloop

A friend and neighbor  rebuilt Blackjack a 115 year old Wilbur Morse-built Friendship sloop at the Sail Power and Steam Museum in Rockland, Maine.  Only the transom, keel and stem are original.  Every other plank is new - cut and fitted by Jim and volunteers.  Every rib steam bent - like the old days.  This video shows the boat as it looked when it came into the shop.
