The schooner Liberty Star from Boston was out of the water at the Gloucester Marine Railways last week. I witnessed the masts being re-installed but missed the boat being moved back into the water. Later when we asked a crew member how it went, he said that the boat was taking on a little water, a surprise to a novice like me, and we could see the pumps working. He said the wooden boards shrink when the boat is out of the water, and all would be ok as soon as the hull was newly acclimated to the water. 9x12 inches, oil on linen panel.
