The Craig is indeed an impressive ship, especially since I've seen pictures of how she looked when they started. And singing below decks was amazing. There we were in a huge area that ran almost the full length of the ship. Our voices ran around the deck and up through the hatch into the night. I'm sure it must have been an eerie experience for casual onlookers who came dowwn to the dock to see the ship. I envision them standing and looking at the rigging and then hearing the shanties drifting up out of the bowels of the ship. Talk about ghost stories.
As I said at the sing, Australia, good on you for fixing her up! You've done a nice job.
