Heyyyy! What an awesome video mate!!! Great narration and shots! Your passion is compelling and really makes a viewer think about all the wooden vessels that are one summer of neglect away from sinking below the waterline and lost to history! Great stuff! Thank you!

The key is to focus resources of time, energy and money on a few copies of each significant class of wooden boat. You said it many times - it takes a lot of money and most people don't know what they're signing up for. The world now has a better mousetrap, from a practical standpoint, and that is fiberglass and steel hulled boats. So there's little hope that these wooden boats are going to compete with newer models in their class. The trick is to save a few in fine fashion, and say goodbye to those that have served us well for all these many years.

Good info for those that want to bring the boats back to their glory but I’ve also seen if fail more than once. Hopefully they can save a few for the future .👍

The "SS Master" most certainly deserves to be saved! Many old wooden runabouts such as Hacker or Chris Craft are saved because there is enough interest in doing so, and even those little boats take tons of money, expertise, and years to restore. It won't be easy to rescue SS Master, but if there are enough private people and/or companies with some interest in saving the old boat, then perhaps the local government might be willing to chip in to help save what is basically a piece of Canadian maritime culture. I really do hope this happens.

I would take them out of the water and turn them into hotels rooms. I was in a hotel made of train cabooses in Pennsylvania.

how sad. the stories those ships could tell........maybe they need to do a hybrid...metal hull and the rest wooden. Or can that even work? We have a few paddleboats here in Memphis but not sure how much of them is wood. I think they outlawed wooden passenger boats.

What a PITY PARTY-YES, Unfortunately many of these wonderful vessels have succumbed, but with all the wealth generated in the past couple of decades, tons of worthy vessels have been saved and are on display or in regular use. here in Maine alone, over a dozen schooners 70-to over 100 years olds are in regular passenger service. The presidential yacht Sequoia-is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar restoration in Belfast, Maine....NUF SAID-You CAN'T save em all-and probably shouldn't try. Work with what you can consistently preserve over the loooong term

a wooden boat is like a living breathing thing ! A lot of them seem to be repairable - if you have those deep pockets ! authorities need to prosecute........before you turn into a ships graveyard .
