In this next set of pictures we get to see a miniature mock-up of what the shipyard would have looked like during the building of the Marco Polo in the 1850's. In one of the pictures you'll see a second ship being built; this was another ship builders yard which was also constructing a tall ship at the same time as the Marco Polo.

Here are some pics of the Blue Nose II in Saint John that I shot this summer.

Here's a couple of pics of a little treasure Mr. Jim Stewart pickup on Ebay recently,
the lucky devil!
