Kieran Doherty Quote
Sometime around mid-August, the ship’s carpenter, Richard Frobisher—described by Strachey as a painful and well-experienced shipwright and skillful workman—set about making the ship’s boat ready for a sea voyage.22 Using hatches salvaged from the wreck, he built a deck and made the longboat so close that no water could go in her.23 He fitted the little vessel with sails and checked its caulking and made the boat—probably about twenty-four feet in length and unballasted—as ready as he could for a voyage across almost six hundred miles of dangerous, open ocean.
