There has been a lot of great work going on this week with planking underway on both sides of the boat. The steam box has and necessary fire has kept the crew a bit warmer as there is a hot fire to warm up by. The process of planking in the snow is a little more easy to do with the warm wood coming out of the steam box. This past Saturday as frames went up the crew was able to stay work for up to 12 hours - staying warm by the steam box!
