Fluffy Fishy Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Having followed the ship for a little while now I noticed today that there are currently two jobs going for aspiring shipwrights and riggers, if you like to play with model ships or ropes, or better yet ropes on model ships this may be the job of a lifetime, sadly however there are some limitations to who can be taken seriously as an applicant but who needs qualifications when you can make up for it in enthusiasm. Make Sir Thomas Slade proud and restore the greatest 1st rate of the era. I'm sure all you really need is the Haynes Manual and some plucky spirit.
