It was built by the owners grandfather who was from Mahone Bay Nova Scotia. We thought it might have been one he sailed on. However as I checked it out it is a schooner hull with a Brigantine rig. There is a lead weight on the keel leading me to believe it was originally supposed to be a pond yacht. I just have to ask has anyone ever come across a ship that had a schooner hull but a brigantine rig built in Nova Scotia? I somehow doubt it but I just want to make sure. Cheers John Lyle | ||

I have plans for a Norwegian brigantine (Leon, built 1880), wouldn't call it a schooner hull though. Foremast was square rigged. Keith. [ Edited Tue Jun 11 2019, 09:55pm ] | ||
