Henri Duval's Journal – October 1747:
'La beauté de l'artisanat réside dans le détail, et ici, chaque ligne est une promesse de grandeur.'
'The Spirit of the Highlands stands as my finest work to date. With each line, each calculation, I see not just a ship, but a vessel destined for greatness. The copper sheathing glistens under the workshop's lantern light, a promise of speed and resilience. My modifications, though arduous, are perfect. This ship is more than wood and iron—it is a testament to human ingenuity and divine inspiration. I can only hope Captain Montgomery finds it worthy.'
