My wife demanded the same after anatomy lab...When I came back from submarine trips, my wife made me undress and put my clothes in a plastic bag on the back porch, then straight to the shower.

Thanks for your thoughts, Brad. I remember my grandfather coming home from work in the herring coop, having to take off his clothes in the courtyard behind the house and then wash himself first.A thin skeleton is becoming a strong and rigid fishing boat, ready for the "abundant catch" to which you refer!
Your diligent research paid off! Those fishermen sure went the extra mile to make every inch capable of holding the money-making herring.
I can't imagine how crowded it would be with all those barrels...and the smell, once the catch was in. Good thing the nose becomes accustomed to odors after being exposed to them for prolonged periods!!! When I came back from submarine trips, my wife made me undress and put my clothes in a plastic bag on the back porch, then straight to the shower. I'm sure the fisher-wives did the same.
The nets look great too!
Hi Roger. Thanks you very much for spending your time to catch up on where we are nowadays and to write this very nice post.I just spent a pleasant part of my afternoon today reading back a few pages to remind myself and catch up on your superb build Peter. I read from “the damage” to your latest post. It really is a terrific, informative and visually appealing build. I am not at all surprised the Friends of Museum Vlaardingen magazine “De Spil” want to write an article on your build, you deserve the recognition.
Thanks, Heinrich. A bit in style of the BN ......... but different.Absolutely beautiful, Peter.
I suppose that there was something of logic. Perhaps hold by hold ..... It's quite an achievement to 'manage' 450 to 500 barrels. As far as they knew about those ‘management’ terms back then.Can you imagine the logistical nightmare of retrieving and storing all those barrels on a regular basis?
Thanks, Christian. Steady working to the aft and then back to the front.Really wonderful progress, Peter
