Man sets sail with replicas of world's most famous ships

By
LAGRANGE - Hank Boggess has been building miniature boats for the last 20 years -- plank by plank. <br> <br> The ships are close to exact replicas in nearly every detail -- from the red carpet that leads to the upstairs of a Mississippi riverboat to the row boats of the 1851 Yacht American. <br> <br> The 58-year-old subdivision developer&#39;s also models include the U.S.S. Monitor and the U.S.S. Constituion. <br> <br> Conspicuously absent among Boggess&#39;s is the Titanic, which he says he simply has no desire to build. Boggess says, ``You turn on the TV and it&#39;s everywhere. It only sailed for ten days.&#39;&#39;
