At Dry Dock Through JulyStarboard Side Open (May 2013)
The shipwrights ran out of white oak!
The starboard side was replanked temporarily with red oak above the waterline.
![Page 26: Restoring Mayflower II NEKDA 2016 · 2016-11-14 · History of the Ship • Warwick Charlton, English journalist, thought up the idea of a replica Mayflower as a gift to the U.S.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043008/5f98ad031f078053fd22d466/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Consequences of Lack of Planking
• The ship was not put back in the water until the end of July. Almost seven months in dry dock –and it missed over four months of the tourist season.
• Foot-traffic around waterfront businesses was down by ~50 percent. Without the ship, some tour operators rerouted buses away from the waterfront.

Observations• Big white oak trees are very difficult to
find. Still, there has been a lot of enthusiasm for this project.
• Sawtimber and veneer are king, ties come in second, pulp and bioenergy third, and other markets (except staves) are much less known or sought after. There’s little knowledge about long-log markets & even less is known about sweepy white oak log markets.

“Mayflower II has had very good regular and routine maintenance, but the ship will need 7 million dollars to prepare her not only for the 400th anniversary commemoration in 2020, but also for the next 40 to 50 years of the ships lifecycle.
