Matthew Turner Update

     tall ship Matthew Turner, currently dockside in Sausalito at the Army Corps pier, continues to ready herself for sea trials.  Progress has been slow but steady this year, with internal components and systems being built and installed.   Above deck additions and installations are ongoing as spars, yards, and fixed and running rigging are added.
      I've added quite a few photos taken Monday of this week to show some of the improvements.
