A storied yacht saves its restorer's life

The once-magnificent Shawnee is a 72-foot wooden sailboat built in 1916. Its skeleton sits in the yard of a Newport Beach home, where a master shipwright who's restoring it is being sued by the city.

She is 96 years old, all bones and little skin. Her ribs are split and rotted in places and stained by rust. Nonetheless, she is a slightly fearsome presence, commanding her surroundings like a T. rex in a natural history museum.
