Belle of the ball

[CapnK]

This coming weekend is the annual Wooden Boat Show here in Georgetown, SC.

The boat below came into our marina yesterday afternoon.

She just might be the biggest wooden boat in SC. :D

She's the "Spirit of South Carolina", launched just this year. According to her entry in Wikipedia:

The keel was laid June 16, 2001. The Whiskey Plank (last plank to be installed) was fit on July 15, 2006.

She was launched from Union Pier on the Charleston waterfront on March 4, 2007, at 12 noon.

The pic below is 1200+ pixels wide, so I'm only posting the small version - for more detail, the big one is here:
