This week saw more progress in getting plate on the stern. The full eight plates across the stern have been fitted up. The side plates are being trimmed and it is anticipated that fabrication of the knuckles will be starting sometime during the week of the 19th. The weld rememnants of the jack heads used to shape the plate have not yet been ground off. Hence the freckles.
The Z-bar in number 4 starboard outboard has been cropped out. The hogging chain cables on the starboard side have been loosened and the hogging chain post length has been measured. The threaded ends of the chains have been carefully marked to ensure the proper fit when reinstalled. The hogging chain post is of 7 inches in diameter which is not very common, but the yard did find some.
All of the overlay under number 2 compartment has been removed and about 70% of the original plate. Repairs to inernal structure have been marked out.
