This article is maybe only 10% finished. I, and a university professor who's writing a history, and my classmate Palmer Stevens (his pages liked at the bottom) have tons of primary-source material to add...at some point. 

 Plenty of people have sailed on the Te Vega. I'm always hoping for input from them, or at least from someone who's sailed a tall ship, or knows what's entailed in writing a history of one.
