The deck house is assembled in two sections and later lifted up onto the main deck of the vessel. This section is the forward section housing the galley, staterooms and more.

 

The forward section is nearly ready to accept the bow section which is being built on the floor. Nearly all of the side shell plate is on and the boat is really beginning to take shape.

 

Staging wraps the stern of the boat to allow workers to get around.

 

Completed aft bulwark with side rubber channels where the rubber bumpers or "fenders" will be installed.

 

 

The two electric generators are lowered in the engine room and are prepared for installation. These provide all the power used on board for lighting and all electrical needs.

 

Pipe fitters installing manifolds and valves, these will be used for fuel and ballast.

 

Fitters & Welders working on the aft section of the deck house. Steel braces hold the parts in place and a worker has a concrete block on the crane for use as extra weight to push down the deck house roof.
