Great to see the continuing additions to this thread but gentle reminder that this is a sailing craft image posting area.

Hope everyone is able to get out on the water in this holiday season.
Sorry. I clicked on the wrong thread. Is there an easy procedure for me to move them to the thread that I actually wanted? Thanks.

Don't worry about moving them, simply adjusting the compass heading. ;-)

Thanks. I've spent a lot of time racing sailboats, so I'm very familiar with adjusting compass headings!

Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Boat Yard
How about a change of pace. Here are two boats being restored (Martha and Delaware) and a new one, a replica of the Dove, just getting started on the left (keel and one rib, so far).
Here is an update on the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Dove reproduction project. They have made some progress since I was there 2 months ago. Beginning to look like a boat.

Thanks for that! I couldn't find a lot on the new build but the pictures contain many interesting details. It looks to me like the frames are live oak. They cut oversize segments out of slabs of live oak - the guy with the chainsaw in one of your photos - then flatten the sides. They use a ship's saw in a building next to where they lay out the frames to bevel the segments so the planks will sit flush against them. The bevel angle isn't obvious now because they are making frames in the center. They double the frame with overlapping segments for strength, so it's called "double-sawn". They initially bolt them together for assembly but replace all the bolts with wooden dowels. The dowel ends are split and a wedge is driven in to spread the ends and lock them in place.

There's a nice Youtube channel that shows all of that in detail:

Sampson Boat Co - YouTube

I wanted to know what the keel was made of but can't tell from the photos because it's painted with preservative. They've already cut the rabbet for the planks to sit in and cover the frames. That's a sign they know what they're doing. It probably helps to have built the boat once already in 1978.

1/12/20 - Update: I checked and the wood used for the keel, false keel, wormshoe, inner and outer sternposts, keelson, and deadwood is Cortez.

Thanks for the link. Another boat building series that is interesting is Acorn to Arabella

This project is a re-reproduction of the Dove. Apparently they have more information about the original Dove since the first reproduction in the 70's so this one is being scratch built from a new set of plans; the idea being it will be more historically accurate while still meeting current safety requirements.

I will try to post more pictures as it takes shape. It's over a 1-1/2 hour drive from my house to the museum yard so I like to plan a full day for each visit. There is a good brew pub in St Michaels which is also a requisite stop.

Lightship Overfalls (LV-118) was the last light-vessel constructed for the United States Lighthouse Service in 1938 before the Service became part of the United States Coast Guard. She was retired from service in 1972 and is now on permanent display in Lewes, DE.
