    While touring the Museum of the Gaspe, they told us a near disaster caused by a cigarette smouldering in the trash. The fishing vessel displayed outside, caught fire, requiring structural frames be replaced and hull planks.

    The carpenters were able to take my IPhone and get photos up on deck for me.

    There was a nice model in the museum
    created by a local model builder. which the staff brought me a chair to stand on to take photos of the deck.

    The staff are superb! The museum includes a large research library is open to visitors. Most of the collection is in stacks beyond eyes of the public. I was able to see some materials relating to the WWII period of history that included the 5 forts and two naval bases.

    Ron,

    Do you know the age of the 'cigarette boat'? The rudder construction is similar the BLUENOSE.

    Thanks Ron for sharing these images, there are details that can be very useful for us ship modelers.

    Hi Ron,
    You made the classic mistake here!
    You put a WEB address within the text which causes all following text to be chopped off, so we can't see it in your postโ˜น๏ธ
