And the dawn comes up like thunder

Excerpts from the Rudyard Kipling poem
Mandalay
By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin' lazy at the sea,

An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay

Excerpt from Bruce Stannard’s article in the Wooden Boat
magazine about Merlin our English cutter from 1934.
Her heavy Moulmein teak planking from Burma was still tight,
and despite all she had endured, the timeless elegance of her hull
Moulmein from the Great Pagoda
shape remained intact.
