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?

Priey I'm sure...watching Leo over at Sampson Boat (Google it...worth a binge watch) rebuild the1915 gaff rigged Tally Ho (5 sails), with sailmaker's in both Port Townsend and England (oldest) remaking the sails and lines (in kind using mostly modern materials with old techniques)...must have been $200K as a lot was completed by hand. Impressive - to say the least - of this old art and skill set by people who seriously know their craft.
