They were lifting the slabs into place yesterday. Half of the buildings walls were in place at the end of the day.
Friendship at Salem Maritime National Historic Site.
Friendship, a reconstruction of a 171-foot three-masted Salem East Indiaman built in 1797, arrived on September 1, 1998 at the National Park Service's Salem Maritime National Historic Site in Salem, after two years of construction at Scarano Boat Building in Albany, NY. She is the largest wooden, Coast Guard certified, sailing vessel to be built in New England in more than a century.
Jen (Jen's Photography) and I met up with Duane Rapp, Theresa (keleka656) and Jim (phototravel1) for the Tall Ships festival on Navy Pier. Jim took care of the wrist bands, Thank you again sir, and we spent a large portion of the day viewing and shooting the ships that were moored there.
This is just an abstract of the rigging at the rail.

@Cutty Sark, Greenwich
The Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship. Built on the Clyde in 1869 for the Jock Willis shipping line, she was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest, coming at the end of a long period of design development which halted as sailing ships gave way to steam propulsion.
The opening of the Suez Canal (also in 1869) meant that steam ships now had a much shorter route to China, so Cutty Sark spent only a few years on the tea trade before turning to the trade in wool from Australia, where she held the record time to Britain for ten years. Improvements in steam technology meant that gradually steamships also came to dominate the longer sailing route to Australia and the ship was sold to the Portuguese company Ferreira and Co. in 1895, and renamed Ferreira. She continued as a cargo ship until purchased by retired sea captain Wilfred Dowman in 1922, who used her as a training ship operating from Falmouth, Cornwall. After his death she was transferred to the Thames Nautical Training College, Greenhithe in 1938 where she became an auxiliary cadet training ship alongside HMS Worcester. By 1954 she had ceased to be useful as a cadet ship and was transferred to permanent dry dock at Greenwich, London on public display.
Cutty Sark is one of three ships in London on the Core Collection of the National Historic Ships Register (the nautical equivalent of a Grade 1 Listed Building) – alongside HMS Belfast and SS Robin. She is one of only three remaining original composite construction (wooden hull on an iron frame) clipper ships from the nineteenth century in part or whole, the others being the City of Adelaide, awaiting transportation to Australia for preservation, and the beached skeleton of Ambassador of 1869 near Punta Arenas, Chile.
The ship was badly damaged by fire on 21 May 2007 while undergoing conservation. The vessel has been restored and was reopened to the public on 25 April 2012

Details of the rigging on a ship's mast.
I shot this to capture the lines, textures and materials of the ship's rigging. I wished to emphasise the contrast between the vertical and horizontal lines and shapes.
Elissa is a steel barque, launched in 1877. She now serves as a museum when in port, moored in Galveston, Texas. Although moored, the crew was practicing sail handling on this calm day.
The Viking ship Draken Harald Hårfagre that sailed across the atlantic from Norway to Iceland, Greenland & Newfoundland, down the St. Lawrence Seaway and through the well and canal, where we caught up with it.
