The ship is now 85 percent complete. Next it will be moved to the fitting out berth. After it has arrived there, many ancillary detail items will be added, these include: windlasses, winches, anchors and chain, cowl ventilators (photo below), and a propeller. Since this model can also float, ballast will have to be added, I’ve already started this long and lesions process however. Also in the yard is the hull for a tug boat, but I made a fearful mess of cutting the hull so that is currently, err, undecided? The ship is painted in the colors of Brocklebank Line, which whom my grandfather sailed during 1962-63, at the very end of the good times in shipping. A photo of his ship will be below, it photographed on its way to the breakers yard in Turkey, summer 1967.
