I have identified a fresh water tank under the deck of
the lower deck – or in English, under the floor of the lower level! (Photo)
There are/ were 16 of these containing a total of 30 tons of water. Considering
that I stuck my hand (holding my camera) through a hole in the deck, this is
not a bad photo!
Another structural photo taken on my trip was of the bow
hawspipes (that’s better nauticalese) alongside the companionway. (Photo)
There are a lot of pretty sizeable nuts to be found around the
vessel, some are a very pretty colour! (Photo)
Now it is puzzle corner. There are several objects fixed
around the superstructure that I can only describe as ‘double horns’. Are they
ventilation, lighting, tannoy or what? (Photo).
And there is a 2ft ‘post’ fixed right at the edge of the
stern, with a cap on top. Ventilation?
No prizes for the right answers, but it would be nice to
know!
