All of the overlay and bottom plate has been removed from compartments 1, 3 and 5. Extensive frame, bulkhead, Z-bar, and channel restoration is ongoing. These compartments had the most internal structural elements that needed replacement.
A plan for the replating around the head log has evolved and a side plate has been hung on the port side of number 1 and smaller plates are being faired in.
The thresholds to the engine room doors on the forward end of the engine room have been cut out. The deterioration of the plating is more exxtensive then first thought as there was loose plate covering the holes in the deck. The deck beams and gussets below the thresholds are all being replaced.
It is anticipated that the botom plate for number 1 compartment will be started on the 15th.
There was an article about the SNYDER in the Ironton Tribune on Sunday. A link to the article is:
