mmm, you may have a point there, but I wonder if the term clinker built couldn't just be taken out? Explaining what is a clinker built boat might be more wordy than it's worth, under the circumstances. I thought about it when I wrote the footnote. The point is that the whale boat was built for speed, not durability.
Any thoughts, anyone, and indeed Cloviscat in particular?

Actually, as defined on a site I've just found, it's pretty easy, so in it goes. Thanks, Cloviscat.
Mind you, I don't know what I'm going to put in the planned follow up piece, "A Brief History of (New England)Whaling".

Well, there it is, in now.
Is that enough for the purposes of the article or do you think it needs more?

Sorry, BluesShark, but the correct spelling is "Massachusetts". Only four s's.

Not on the web site I was looking at .
Which is disturbing as it was the Nantucket Tourist Board Site...
Will check and amend as necessary...

Thank you.
I'm beginning to think that you may be a lucky charm for me, Frogbit-just make sure you come and look at all my entries, please. There should be new one sometime over Xmas.
