  Atkin & Co. - Greenshank
Greenshank is a centerboard boat; she is 18 feet 1 inch in overall length; 16 feet long on the water line; 6 feet 6 inches in breadth; and draws (with the board up) 1 foot 4 inches.
Greenshank is rigged as a knockabout -- not a sloop.
Greenshank is plainly constructed with suitable, but inexpensive, materials; and while not heavy is amply strong to give long service if properly cared for.

 Greenshank : Curriculum Links - covers many aspects of the National Curriculum
The Greenshank project covers many aspects of the National Curriculum, at different levels and in different subjects.
For schools involved in this exciting project there is the opportunity to understand how we learn about the animals that we share the world with, to study a bird in a local habitat and to follow it to other more distant places, even different countries, and in so doing to learn about other habitats.
The Greenshank lifecycle illustrates how animals reproduce, but also the importance of food supply and hence the need to adapt by migrating.

The Greenshank anomaly straddles the border between WA 246 P and WA 1 P, in the Dampier Sub basin on the North West Shelf of Western Australia.
Seismic data over the Greenshank anomaly displays a series of high amplitude events, dipping basinward near the centre of a northeasterly trending fault block.
However, the drilling of Greenshank 1 in June 1996 encountered a low acoustic impedance shale with minor gas shows beneath a higher velocity cemented claystone at the level of the seismic anomaly.

The greenshank is a native of the northern parts of the Old World, but in winter it wanders far to the south, and occurs regularly at the Cape of Good Hope, in India and thence throughout the Indo-Malay Archipelago to Australia.
It has also been recorded from North America, but its appearance there must be considered accidental.
In North America it is represented by two species, Totanus semipalmatus and T. melanoleucus, there called willets, telltales or tattlers, which in general habits resemble the green- shank of the Old Work!.

 Audubon paints the Common Greenshank
This painting by Audubon showing the Common Greenshank with the Castillo de San Marcos of St. Augustine in the background is thought to have been painted in 1835.
I had first supposed them to be Tell-tale Godwits, as they walked on the bars and into the shallows much in the same manner, and, on obtaining them, imagined they were new; but on shewing (showing) them to my assistant Mr.
Ward, who was acquainted with the Greenshank of Europe, he pronounced them to be the species, and I have since ascertained the fact by a comparison of specimens.

 [APMW] RE: 38 Nordmann's Greenshank at Bagan Tambang, Butterworth, Malaysia
We start the survey at 11:30am during the raising tide, only 6 Nordmann’s Greenshank were seen from a mixed flock of a few thousands shorebirds (mainly Golden plover, Red-necked Stint and Whimbrel) from about 100-200 m distance.
However, the highest count of the species at the site was made by Choy Wai Mun in October 2004 when the total number of 43 was recorded at that time.
The housing development adjutant to the site has been a great threat to the shorebirds and the globally Endangered Nordmann’s Greenshank, however, there is no future plan of reclaim the mudflat or cut off the mangrove at the moment by the government with the Tsunami effects to the area.
