For hosting of pictures in a forum i use the integrated functions of that forum, the pictures where resized to 800 x 600 pixels and 75% quality for jpeg. It guarantees, that the pictures will be available independent of "photohoster politics".
Some of the old attachments on old posts don't work.

For example, on the first page of my boats thread, first post, you can't seem to see or view the attachments:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1435

Why bother attaching them if they aren't going to work in the future...

Some better photos..

Didn't the 'Phoebe' have a Sullivan engine?

This engine came from an Auction in Illinois. Don't have any more information on it.

Dimensions are 4 + 6-1/2 + 11 x 7-1/2"

I believe she still sits on her original engine bearers. They're wood with downward taper towards what would be the stern.

Engine is very lightly built. Nowhere on the cast frame or columns is much more than 1/4" thick, save for the mounting flanges. Rods are about the same thickness as those on the very first York compound I have.

Even the big end brasses are rounded and lightened on the bottoms. Studs instead of through-bolts.

JW Sullivan of New York.

The engine in the Cangarda is a Sullivan I do believe.
