About This Sloop

The VOYAGER (original C. Morse 1901) has a long history of being shuffled around as a potential rebuild/derelict.  Eventually she ended up in the now gone “Thomaston Museum” or similar name.  When Lyman-Morse started expanding, the defunct museum and associated craft in the area were getting dismantled.  Jeff and I has been watching the sloop for quite awhile and, when the bulldozer was getting active, I paid Drinkwater to move her to my back yard in Warren.  We then got Art Crane to lift her over a tree and into a more suitable area with thoughts of a rebuild.

Many years later, she is still a nice sculpture in need of everything.  Her shape is still there and she is covered and in need of a benefactor, like many old boats that eventually get cut up.
