9/10 - New steering pole installed
As of Friday, September 4,
the Lewis G. Harriman has a steering pole. Marc Dease saved the wooden
pole from the J. Burton Ayers when she became the Cuyahoga, and after some
restoration work, including a new spear tip made by Ed Kroodsma, all we
needed were enough hands to swing the pole from its resting position,
pointed back at the pilothouse, to its proper orientation. With John Mills
pulling from the beach, Marc lifting from a stepladder on deck, Andrew
Mills running the hand winch and Jill managing cables, the pole was set
out. Photos by Judy Mills. |
