This port side view of the bow shows a glue clamp still in place. Spare paints are in the background. On the table is a lifeboat with the oars to your left. Oars are bundled and lashed to each lifeboat. Some of the lifeboats are already lashed in place on the upper deck.
Port holes are in the raised position with a rope holding each up.
On the far side cannons are inboard for traveling. The anchor rope is casually tied around the bow to keep it from being pulled through the hull. The hand rails amid ship were a real trick to put in place. These almost feather lite pieces have to stand in an unbalanced manner literally beyond the edge of the hull. Both were warped from the box and had to be bent straight.
