The wood has arrived and more is on its way to restore the M/V Seal "The Queen of the Fleet"

This was a story about replacing a Sheer Plank and 4 planks down to the Sponson on the entire Starboard side of the SEAL -> that also involves a House Timber, one rib all new deck beams, new deck, covering boards and more. Mike Svensson is the shipwright who is doing it for me because he has done more planks than I will Ever do in my entire life, hes super talented because of our superior Swedish Genetics~! I can do planks and I Love Shipwright work (see other albums) BUT! Working with Mike gives me confidence with this restoration project because the SEAL is 70 feet and almost 100 Years Old. Mike is really good at big timber projects. After we complete this Starboard Project then we start the Stern which completes the ENTIRE Topside of the SEAL like new. A Dream Come True, all that leaves is a few planks to be a fully restored 100 Year Old "Territorial Fish and WildLife Patrol Vessel" who has worn JUNEAU on her Stern Proudly for almost 100 Years <3 The proudest thing in my life is restoring this old boat to share with people long after I am gone. This 12 Year historical restoration project would not be possible without Mike and his son Alberts talent and help. As much as I love shipwright work, this projects too big for just me.
