Some of the credit for those goes to you and HMS Sutherland. Were it not for the
inspiration of that ship the back end of the Wraith would be one butt-ugly rear
(so to speak.) It started life as a huge square block with windows, but luckily
I fixed it.

Sails are made of black construction paper that's been repeatedly wadded up and
smoothed out. The sunglasses dude is Pirate Dave, the Quartermaster of Capt.
Redbeard's original ship "the Red Dragon," and narrator of chapter 2.
I've still got some rigging to do. The mizzen mast is now one (twisted) mast
extention base taller and will have a barque-rigged spanker (which may or not be
correct as my on-hand reference is limited) as will the mainmast.
More stories to come...
