| Extensive
work continues at Kelley's Yard with planking stripped away to
be able to inspect and replace futtocks. Futtocks are bolted
together to make up the frames (ribs).
Tony Marques and crew
remove old futtocks marked for replacement
Futtocks going in on the
opposite side of the ship from the photo above.
A template is readied for
fabrication of another futtock.
New futtocks under the fish
hold one the starboard side.

You can compare this photo
and the one to the left and see that two futtocks were added
during the intervening day.
The bilge pump suction line
in the fish hold is run in a more efficient way and the bilge
alarm sender unit is readied for installation.
The septic tank is ready to
be moved to gain access to fasten some new futtocks under the
forward end of the fish hold. A post supporting a deck beam was
removed with the mortise shown below in the top of the keelson.
The tenon of the old post is laying on top of the floor timber.
