Re: Titania-50' schooner
She's in 30-Odd Boats. At 50' x 47' x 11' x 2.6" or 7' and 21,700 lb
she's a big boat, with a flat-floored round-bilged hull, Burmudian
main and foresail. Bolger tried and, I think, succeeded if the
drawings can be a true guide, to have it look like Ticonderoga. But
she's a ketch; see:
http://www.seacraftclassics.com/store/classic_ticonderoga.html
Although somewhat more high-wooded than that vessel, she has the
break in the sheer, the clipper bow with bowsprit and trailboards,
and the high small elliptical transom stern. There are two
unobtrusive deckhouses. Her most unusual features are the two huge
bilgeboards.
Construction started on the original but was halted due to financial
problems, apparently. I've no more information than what appears in
the book and, sorry, I don't have access to a scanner (or a digital
camera).
