The Mary Anne is a Norwegian Pram, blunt at both ends. I can tell you that it takes a lot of skill to fit the planks as well as shown on the Garboat site. I am no where near that good.
In regards to the deaths in London, one tends to take these things personally when you have travelled on the Underground, as I did about 6 weeks ago. I would offer the comment of John Donne:
Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in Mankind;
And therefore, never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
I wish I could understand what drives someone to kill innocent people. Very sad and I can not see an end to the conflict in our lifetime.
