5-27-05 View of The Lynx from aboard the Lady Washington...somewhere up the Columbia River...here's some infor on the Lnyx copied from the internet "The Lynx is an interpretation of an actual privateer named Lynx built by Thomas Kemp in 1812 in Fell�s Point, Md., and which was among the first ships to defend American freedom by evading the British naval fleet then blockading American ports. The modern version was launched on July 28, 2001, in Rockport, Maine.
Displacing 114 tons, the Lynx is 78 feet overall with a 23-foot beam and a draft of nine feet." Seems she was used to help train crews for the Pirates of the Car. movie.
