"Amistad" is her original name. She was built in 1967 for Dick and Sally
Russell, according to the builder's plaque in the cabin. She's a
35'
Ketch, Hull #42. The home port is still "Bokelia FL", as I don't
technically own her yet and haven't revised the documentation. I
keep her
berthed in Shady Side, Maryland, on Parish Creek (near the mouth
of the
West River off of Chesapeake Bay).
When Mr. Russell passed away, his widow donated the boat to a charity
in
Virginia, from which I'm purchasing Amistad. As it turns out, their
sons
live in Shady Side and spotted Amistad one day from their shop across
the
creek.
Thanks,
Mark
