here be our ship structure for this past pennsic! alas, she had to be left for firewood :(

(click to see the full picture, the blog cuts off the right half) 

a couple little quirks about it:::

-the actual dimensions were in proportion to a real ship.

-if it were not scrapped for firewood, we would have continued further work, including a bottom half.

-the mast (aka thump-ding) also doubles as a carnival strong-man contest.

-both sides of the structure have a staircase or ladder so you can go and hang out on the top decks.

-the structure on the right with the 'target' also had a zip-line that you could ride to a tree below (off camera)
