The Deliverance...
The St. George’s Foundation owns and operates a full-scale replica of the Deliverance, (constructed in 1967 by the Bermuda Junior Service League). Visitors are welcome board: and can imagine what it was like to be a passenger in the 17th, century crammed into the narrow decks with cargo below and a main deck above. There is also a permanent exhibit of the Sea Venture, the Patience, and the Deliverance on display in the World Heritage Centre on Penno’s Wharf.
Both vessels were constructed with a single deck vessel with a modest forecastle and poop, curved stem, and square stern. The Deliverance was built of wood salvaged from Sea Venture (ribs, beams, and prow) and local Bermuda cedar (planking and decking). The Patience was built from of Bermuda cedar with only one iron bolt from the Sea Venture.
