I was a troubadour on the Larinda. It was as Captain Larry Mahan would say.. "the ship that brought people together". I was honored to steer the helm, to work with the mates, and on each voyage the crew would not only do something to improve her, such as netting the widow's walk. We share stories ... it was the " Magic Ship" I will [always remember] Captain Larry and the voyages we sailed, it was a sad day in history when Larinda sank.. So many things went down with it and many hurt... but nonetheless the memories never went down.... Peace and I hope that Larinda will be remembered forever, It deserves to... Love Mark Moniz hi..

I have enough to deal with in my first life, so you won't find me there, but if you're into SL you can sail her. PS – My search turned up a “Larinda” schooner model for Second Life gamers.

Maybe some sleuthing for "Sultana model" would turn up something. But the carving on <em>Larinda</em>: you might have to fill out those details yourself. Unless someone has done it ... If anybody knows anything about this, do leave a comment. I don’t know, but Mahan got his plans of the original ship, Sultana, from a model-boat magazine, according to an old article on Forbes.com.
