While the ship is structurally complete - sealed from deck to hull and already equipped with all the heavy equipment like motors and generators - there is still work required to complete the vessel, said Alan Olson, project director. She will be the first tall ship to set sail in Marin in more than 200 years. The Matthew Turner - operated by Call of the Sea, a Sausalito educational nonprofit organization - cost about $6.3 million to build, with most funds coming from Marin donors. After more than three years of working day and night, the many enthusiasts who have contributed 120,000 volunteer hours to the Matthew Turner project are thrilled to see the ship make its first splash Saturday.
