Restoration

Engine room :: Wheelhouse :: On deck :: Hull :: Other :: Volunteering

Aside from nonstop chipping and painting, the biggest restoration project on deck was repairing the deck guns that had become stiff and rigid to operation from lack of use. The guns were cleaned, lubed and repacked. Then missing handles and bolts were replaced.
