Port Block Yards Rowboat Cranky |

After Captain Sheridan of the Agamemnon dispensed with the pirate Phil of the Cranky, there was not a lot of salvage. A single rowboat, and it with a cannonball hole in the port side, was the biggest chunk. As a trophy, a demonstration of the colony's superiority over piracy, the Governor wanted the rowboat returned to active service. It was not a big job, but completed successfully, it did mark the beginning of what would become the engineering and maintenance colossus that is Port Block Yards. The Rowboat Cranky (as she was renamed) is the first exhibit in the Port Block Yards Museum.
