Poor ship. Every few years it tries to get out of Charlestown, but the tie it up with a rope and drag it back.

Man it with a stout and squared-away crew and it could make that escape good. I have no idea how much of the original wood, copper, etc. is still there - probably not much. Probably better materials in place now. It may be more seaworthy now than when it was launched over two centuries ago.
