She was "a big old ugly thing" and "You'd hear her pumps squeakin' in the dock all hours of the night." Blackwood used to have a small bit of square yard on top of the mast. To anyone seeking work he'd say, "Ya know anything about square riggers?" Format: pictorial and artistic works Object: glass slides Titles: R.Blackwood.
