La Revenante - Florida

This is where she was found, in Florida


Here is where she was found in a Florida boat yard as the "Buccaneer", purchased and brought north to Shawville, Quebec, to begin a new life in Canada as "La Revenante". The trip from Florida on a flatbed is a story in itself, notable for the fact that NOTHING WENT WRONG! Getting her 24 tons off the float at my partner's farm was another matter.

She is a beautiful sight, built to be sailed by " a man and a boy", but destined ( we hope) to be sailed by convivial groups of 19th century wannabes. Thanks to John Wootton for this material from his Blog site.

This is what she looked like in the water.
