Photo Diary: An East Indiaman Returns to Salem

Building Friendship: Reports by John Monaghan

October-November 2000: Rigging in Boston at Charlestown Navy Yard

In this photo, Tom is applying the final service to a large wire grommet that has already been tarred, wormed, parceled, and served three times. This piece will be used as a strop for the fore t'gallant falls block, also known as the inner martingale block.
