Russians and Glen L - at the bottom of the world
I dropped into the Franklin Living Boat Trust on the way to 'work' the other day, and got a real surprise at the variety and type of boats hanging around this sleepy little village.
Once was a replica viking ship on its ways around the world from Russia, the other was a Glen L powerboat being built in the very conservative non-profit shed of the LBT.

The Russian Viking Boat
Here are some shots of the boat, with info on the expedition in some of them.
A rare plywood build at the LBT - an old 50's Glen L Powerboat design
Work is well progressed on this classic powerboat.
The Franklin Foreshore
With a huge variety of boats littering the banks of the Huon River, Kayaks, Motor Cruisers, Dragon Sailboat, its a case of 'spot the unique boat'
