Yet it was the clinker, with its overlapping planks, that afforded us access to the oceans, and its construction has become a lost art that calls to the do-it-yourselfer in all of us. John Gornall heard the call. A thoroughly unskilled modern man, Gornall set out to build a traditional wooden boat as a gift for his newborn daughter. It was, he recognized, a ridiculously quixotic challenge for a man who knew little about woodworking and even less about boat-building. He wasn't even sure what type of wood he should use, the tools he'd need, or where on earth he'd build the boat. He had much to consider... and even more to learn. But, undaunted, he embarked on a voyage of rediscovery, determined to navigate his way back to a time when we could fashion our future and leave our mark on history using only time-honored skills and the materials at hand. His journey began in East Anglia, on England's rocky eastern coast. If all went according to plan, it would end with a great adventure, as father and daughter cast off together for a voyage of discovery that neither would forget, and both would treasure until the end of their days." -- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Preface -- Dear Phoebe... -- View from a bridge -- A retreat from Suez -- Rudderless -- Red Boat -- A chance encounter -- The league of dead experts -- Say hello to my little friend -- First, take your tree -- First cut -- Ridickerous -- A jigsaw puzzle -- Wonky, but close enough -- Eastward ho! -- Over she goes -- Nailing it -- To hull and back -- Pirates and fairies -- Very, very slowly does it -- Sunny-side up again -- A return to Suez -- A ship at last -- Epilogue. 600 10 $a Gornall, Jonathan. 600 10 $a Gornall, Jonathan $x Family. 600 10 $a Gornall, Jonathan $v Diaries. 650 0 $a Boatbuilding $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Ocean travel. 650 0 $a Boats and boating. 650 0 $a Fathers and daughters $z Great Britain $v Diaries. 650 0 $a Journalists $z Great Britain $v Diaries. 650 0 $a Large type books. 600 17 $a Gornall, Jonathan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01634493 650 7 $a Boatbuilding. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00835146 650 7 $a Boats and boating. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00835176 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Fathers and daughters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921890 650 7 $a Journalists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984188 650 7 $a Large type books. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992678 650 7 $a Ocean travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01043585 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a Anecdotes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423876 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Diaries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423794 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 8 945 $a lpt 952 $l TBPD706 $d 20240621012933.0 952 $l TVPD862 $d 20240501142612.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909055156.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118021727.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323020557.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806013747.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200414013224.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20191023010354.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=984A2A56ECB511E9BABD7B4D97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
