Interesting. The photo of the ship in dry dock puts an interesting perspective on the size of the ship. Makes me wonder about the size of the Hesper and Luther Little beached in Wiscasset as I remember them from the 1950s. We would see them over the years as we drove over the Highway 1 bridge.

I am trying to envision a bird's eye view of the deck with the geographical markers noted by the Captain. There might be the basis for a "children's activity". An outline might be provided and various locations mentioned could be labelled and then discussed.
