Good! I'm glad to know you're all right. An island is a little confining, isn't it? Yes, this is the style of ship that we Elves build. My relatives and I weren't specifically trained as shipbuilders, but we had distant cousins who were, in the Telerin clan. I used to spend time with them, trading jewels I had made for information about boatbuilding. They took me out in their ships and taught me navigation. I used that knowledge to construct a few boats of this size and smaller.

[ The story becomes a lot grimmer after that, but Curufin won't tell it at the moment. It's not relevant. ]
