A Respectful Visit

Steve from Spartina dropped in on Sultana's dock recently at the

end of his cruise down Delaware Bay.  Chestertown is where my 

Dad spent the last several years of his life as a volunteer shipbuilder,

and then as a sometimes 'docent' of sorts, offering his take on the

ship's construction and more specifically, the significance and 

operation of the 'swivel guns', the small cannon posted up and

down the gunwhales of the ship.  He loved everything about 

gunpowder and lead, and he jumped at the opportunity to shoot

those guns and talk about it later. 

This ship's boat was named in my Dad's memory.  I would love

someday to row her around the docks on the Chester River.

While someone fired a swivel gun.  Thanks Steve, for stopping by.
