Wemba, another Wooden Alberg?

The attached pictures appear to be of a wooden Alberg, built to the design shown on the flyer I sent, and you posted, last year.

I received an inquiry from a French-Canadian as to whether I thought it possible this was an Alberg as the owner he was contemplating purchasing from had, in fact, claimed.

As the then owner insisted it was, and the boat looks exactly like the drawing I have, I would submit it a pretty good guess that in fact it is one of Carl's boats.

I was never able to get the address of the owner from the prospective buyer, and did not get an answer to my last email about the subject when i sent him a query a couple of months ago.

South: The Endurance Expedition Shackleton's near-fatal journey to the Antarctic has received a lot of press in recent years. This is Shackleton's own account—quiet, understated, and riveting. It also describes the travails of the Aurora expedition, intended to lay the groundwork for Shackleton on the other side of the continent.
