And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A better question might be, now that they have it in the air, what will they do with it. No trailer or cradle visible dockside, and with it rigged like that, they can't set it behind the cranes. Waiting for the trailer to back in, maybe?
No superstructure, so maybe it's getting wet for the first time?
This photo makes no sense. Where did they pick it up from? With that crane arrangement they couldn't do a whole lot more than pick it straight up and put it straight down. Maybe this was taken after they lifted it off some sort of floating dry dock and the barge was moved out oof frame? Just seems odd. Either way that's a hell of a boat, must be over 150'.
What's keeping that front sling from sliding off?
ReplyDeleteThe crane operator told it he would beat its ass if it slid off.

I agree with the "first time" speculation. It so clean it looks like its never been wet before. Nice lines - it looks fast.
