[Uwek]

Congratulations for reaching this important step - now you realize, what you are building
You have now the hull of a ship ..... very good work

I reinforced the frames that tended to detach in the upper part:


The stemson:


The keelson:



The limber strakes:

 

[Uwek]

I think, that I realized a very clever idea:
These , I guess they are some small pieces of felt: I guess you use them, that you are not damaging the wood during hamerin and fixing the wood - here the plank


and they are located in the holes for the later treenailing of the plank.
So does I interprete this correctly, that when the glue is dry and the plank is fixed, you pull out the brass nail and afterwards you implement a finsl "treenail" in the same hole?

You guessed it perfectly! They are small pieces of cardboard that help to pull out the fixing nail once the glue has set.
