What I love about this channel and the restoration is that a classic ship is being lovingly saved and I get to see my old friend, the Delta, once again. I can still remember driving from "The Pocket" to Rio Vista after work some days and going through all of the little towns along the way. I'm impressed with how much you've been able to "recycle" to keep costs down and preserving as much of Aurora's bones as you can. If I win a t-shirt, I will wear it whenever a new video comes out. Calm seas and clear skies...

Thanks for the kind words. The Aurora was actually in Rio Vista for a short time. Was a beautiful area and a great little city. I try my best not to dispose of usable parts and pieces from the ship. Makes more sense to use the original than to buy new cheap Chinese materials. Send us a PM with your address and we will send you a shirt. Include your size..

I love ocean liners and passenger ships, as well as working vessels. I love how you're not just keeping a piece of increasingly rare maritime history alive, but that you're doing nearly singlehandedly, without a lot of corporate interference. Just you and your friends and admirers. And you're taking us along, step-by-step, in detail. It must be incredilby peaceful to be on an ocean liner/criuise ship that is moored alongside a beautiful California farming landscape. I find your work and videos incredibly calming and inspiring. If you decide to send me a T-shirt, I'll proudly wear it everywhere! I look forward to the next chapter!

In 1971 I was 12 years old and my first time on a ship. The Wappen Von Hamburg took my family on a day trip. At one point I was standing at the front of the deck above the bow and two guys came out below me carrying a big new looking coiled up rope and threw it off the bow into the sea. They also had a good bratwurst. I like the channel I did some welding in the Air Force. If I was close I’d be there to help.

I love how you are staying true to the ship’s details. Fabricating pieces too far gone to fix. She’s looking great! Can’t wait to see her sea worthy again! 🛳️

What I love the most about this channel is not just watching the preservation and restoration of a historical ship. But that all the work is being done by everyday people like myself that have a passion and a vision to bring this ship back to its former glory. Keep up the awesome work team!!

What is so inspiring about this project is that it is like a David verses Goliath ! You all being the David’s with an attitude of victory not defeat . Most restorations would be brought to a large facility with perhaps dozens of laborers bringing about restoration and you all do it with people that have heart . This ol girl will have a lot left to give …soon !

To find a boat like Aurora, with such an amazing heritage and for it to be accessible for a private restoration is just incredible. I love the team that you have around you. Doug (SV Seeker) may have the boat the internet built, Leo (Tally Ho) has the boat the internet restored, but you Sir have the boat the internet will watch with the mouth agog. Best of luck to you and your boat!

Thanks Stephen, I have been watching SV Seeker and it’s really pretty amazing to see what Doug has accomplished. Haven’t watched Tally Ho but will dig in and see what it’s all about. Interestingly enough I never thought to even give KZbin a try until a few friends kept pushing. Simon and Gemma from Ship Happens helped launch my channel and I couldn’t be more greatful. Hopefully the world will fallow our every move and join in and help support our effort. I’m already amazed at how far we have come because of opening peoples eyes here on KZbin. Thanks for the kind words..

The whole project is obviously huge. I like how you break each problem into smaller ones and don't think of the project as a whole as that would drive you crazy. I try and take that mind set into life. There is a lot to be leant from this.

I love how refreshing it is to watch, always something new so it never gets boring unlike the multitude of sailing channels. They say life is an adventure, I get mine by watching you bring Aurora back to life, Who knows maybe one day I may get to see her in real life if you ever sail her to Australia.

You may find it better to use U channel for your scuppers rather than the tube. You will find that the tube no matter what size can get blocked plus it's almost impossible to paint the inside of it correctly to prevent rust. Love that you guys are restoring this classic ship.
