W. H. RAGLAND

[Bent Mikkelsen]

Wonder if anyone have ever seen or photograph a former Danish wooden freighter now working on the US Westcoast or Hawaii. Originally built as LILLI in 1911. SInce the end of the 1960'ies rebuilt as a yacht and working as such. Any photos, any information of its where abouts will highly welcomed.

The W. N. Ragland is now owned by rock star Neil Young and is based in the Port Townsend, Washington area. She's currently hauled out at the Port Townsend shipyard getting several planks replaced. Mr. Young could afford some beautiful wood for those planks! :-D I've taken several photos of the Ragland, but it'll take a little while to dig them up. In the meantime, here's one of her in the shipyard a couple of weeks ago:
