Logs for New Zodiac Mast, Boom Delivered

Yesterday, the Historical Seaport's Spar Shop took delivery of logs to be turned into a new mast and boom for the schooner Zodiac, which lost its mast in September while sailing near Lummi Island in Puget Sound. The logs came from private property on the Oregon Coast. The logs are 123 feet long, and we believe they will be the largest single pieces of wood ever turned on a lathe in North America.
