ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
"The design of the little ship Nod was commissioned for my grandsons
as a proper vessel to instill in infant mariners an early touch of
seafaring, a sturdy berth of traditional form for snoozing and a first feel
of proper framing, good copper fastenings, plus a view upward into a
well-cut main course with proper gear rove off for voyages into
dreamland. Now a regular cradle boat is fine but the kid falls out,
chews up the gun’l or such, and it’s good for a year or so then
relegated to the attic boneyard awaiting the next occupant. Nod,
however, has been given sufficient tonnage to actually go voyaging
across a pool or along a reedy shoreline accompanied at tow line end
by a swimming parent, the young mariner alert and steely-eyed, lathe
sword at the ready, with a good view forward under the bellying foot of
the main course." - Garden
