Latest update on the Dove construction project at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St Michaels, MD.
They are installing the framework for the work shed enclosure. This will make their life more pleasant but will make future photos more difficult.
Making progress on the stern. Building up the aft deadwood so they can finish up the aft frame installations. The transom pieces are being assembled in the Boat Shop.
The keelson is being installed as they work forward to start assembling the bow section.
Beveled scarf joint to extend the keelson
