CORONET
The Coronet is the flag ship of IRYS - The International Yacht Restoration School here in Newport. She arrived in 1995 and work has been underway since. A detailed account can be found at: http://www.Coronet1885.com with photos and explanations over years. It is overwhelming and amazing.
This yacht is the only one of her kind in the world. It is a most unique historical vessel and has had my heart since she got here. I dropped by today to photograph her current state and many of the original pieces that were removed and remain laying about the walkway as one views. Consider that many of these items are over 130 years old and have circumnavigated the globe several time.
If any of this strikes you, please consider a visit. She is fully enclosed behind IRYS on Thames St. in Newport, RI. Just amazing!
