Now that's a shame.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Well, that could be.
There's an old saying that the best way to understand how something works is to take it apart and put it back together.
Putting it back together sure won't happen here, but it was interesting, if sad, to see it come apart. The diesel wasn't in it, and none of the cabin paneling, which Alan said was quite nice back in it's day.
The wheel was gone, the boat was gone.
He said that at one point someone had spent a lot of money on the yard for the main, it was gone.
I think whoever was living/ squatting on her sold off stuff as he could over time.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Which means the name boards, figurehead, some brass may end up on Ebay. Saved in the end, but by whom. Anyway, good of you to go and share pictures.
Well, I would have loved to and Alan and I launched a two-pronged attack on the wreckers to try to get the name board off of the stern.
They were an experienced and adamant crew and kept us back.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.

The cost to maintain her would have long since exceeded her value. Unless she would have encountered an owner with pockets deep enough to only want see her under sail again. Clearly that did not happen here....
Ships have a life and soul of their own, just like a human.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Kinda sad to see and old ship meet its demise.

I got a call this morning from my friend Alan, letting me know that an old boat he sailed on was being dragged out and broken up.
We both headed to the harbor and watched this go down.
Rendezvous is/ was a barkentine that was built in 1933 and had an active sailing career until she started to fall apart in the early 2000's. Then she sat in the harbor, gathering yard charges, until the harbor pulled her out and broke her up.
A bark much like Rendezvous, except this one has a gaff rig on the mizzen.
