Brion Toss Yacht Rigging at Disneyland

[Frank Hagan]

Disney has been pretty authentic with their original ships in Disneyland, the Mark Twain Steamboat (that is really a steamboat) and the Columbia sailing yacht that is a a full-scale replica of "Columbia Rediviva", the first American ship to circumnavigate the globe.

 

Brion Toss, author of the book "The Rigger's Apprentice", is supervising the replacement of the Columbia's rigging and has some pics of that, and some other ships recently rigged, at https://www.facebook.com/BTYRPT

Awe. Some. We took my mom, because she wanted to make sure she could go one last time, and oldest son and I were checking out the ships. They are very nice.

It would be cool to watch those guys work, eh?

Thanks for the heads up, Frank.

Peace,

Robert
