This is a replica of a wood hulled sailing vessel like those who frequented Salem during the late 1700's.
Closeup of the containers onthe Chiquita Banana boat that left port while we were at Surf Side Beach.
These cargo ships come & go a couple of times a week, bringing bananas from Central America.
These are one cubic foot blocks of wood, yellow pine on the top, white oak in the middle, and live oak on the bottom. You can pull on the ropes to try to lift them to compare the weight (46 lbs for pine, 75 lbs for live oak, I forgot the white oak weight but I think it was 56). The Southern Live Oak is the most dense wood native to North America
This ship is now a SC State Park and moored off of Patriots Point across from Charleston.
