These old wooden Schooners are a LOT of work. These guys are hammering shredded wood into the cracks of the wood...talk about tedious work.

- I don't know what I want to do when I grow up. I have been a helicopter pilot, a SCUBA instructor, a teacher, and a photographer. I was in Indonesia for the past 27 years, and now in New Delhi, India. It has been a great ride so far, and the adventure continues to get better every day.

No stabilized platform, no safety harness, no hand rails, no cooler of water, no hard hats an steel-toed shoes... obviously no Occupational Safety and Health Administration in your neck of the woods. Great flick.
Shredded wood, and then what? Glue of some sort, do you think? Or shredded wood swelling to fill the cracks when it got wet? Or will the boat be re-painted and the paint make the wood swell?
Bare feet might be better than steel-toed shoes, however. These workers might find steel-toed shoes too confining, too heavy, definitely awkward.

Must take a certain amount of faith to set out to sea in a vessel thus repaired ? But then I guess something gets spread over the shredded wood ? Still, if cracks need filling, other cracks will appear sooner or later... Must be a beauty of a boat in any case...
Cool image!
Being an old sailor, I feel I should let everyone know that what keeps wooden boats from leaking to the point of sinking is that wood swells when it gets wet, thus squeezing off any leaks. Most wooden boats keep water in the bilge even when in dry dock to keep the wood from contracting and creating thousands of leaks. Shredded wood, when wet, works almost as good as dry wick and pine tar.
