The Real Britta Model
July 19, 2005

Dad, Audrey and I pay a visit to Gösta to check out his model of T/S Britta.

2	He's put in some fantasic work to make this an exact copy of the real thing...which he also once helped build.

4	The model is also a precise copy of the inside of the ship, and he opens her up to show us...

10	For all the details, he is careful to use the exact same material as the real ship is using....such as wooden plugs, steel bolts, brass hinges, plus all the different kinds of wood used. 37

You tend to forget you're not looking at the real T/S Britta.
