The Secretary of Interior’s Standards will be followed this fall (2024) and early next year (2025) to replace the stem on Eleanor’s bow.

Please make contributions to help pay for this work which will be completed by Chris O’Reiley, Shipwright. Cost: $16,000. This is an Historic Preservation project to ensure that Eleanor remains on the list of National Historic Vessels.

Wooden boats that are actively sailing are not static objects, even after a thorough restoration they need ongoing preservation and repair. Eleanor is no exception.
