By the way, Newport was her birthplace. I believe that her original name was "Beachcomber", and that her construction was commissioned by a doctor, who's name I don't presently recall. The next owner was a Lithuanian named Alvitas Karpowskas (not at all sure of the spelling). He re-named her "Baltia" and mounted carved onion domes at her mastheads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202693090211207246.post-84307877256583855372011-04-07T15:57:11.912-07:002011-04-07T15:57:11.912-07:00My apologies, I got some of the details wrong in t...My apologies, I got some of the details wrong in the initial post and have corrected them.<br />-BenMr. Afloathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12423394543167917008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202693090211207246.post-11834558081989014892010-12-18T11:10:26.606-08:002010-12-18T11:10:26.606-08:00Beautiful knotwork!Beautiful knotwork!Maritime Lawyerhttp://www.1800jonesact.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202693090211207246.post-82854303325959917912010-11-10T11:32:47.158-08:002010-11-10T11:32:47.158-08:00Great.
