WOW - this is a very interesting film about the ship construction -
wooden keel, framing, planking caulking deck everything shown in very good details
It is the Shipbuilding & Engineering Company's ship G.C. Amdrup which was launched in 1942, named after Georg Carl Amdrup,
Vice Admiral Sir Georg Carl Amdrup (November 19, 1866 in Copenhagen, Denmark – January 15, 1947 in Copenhagen), RN was a Danish naval officer, Vice Admiral and Greenland researcher.

I found this also
The G C Amdrup was built by Frederikssund Skibsværft in 1947 for The Royal Greenland Trading Company.
She was 46x11,60x7,40/5,20 and had a Grt of 908 and a cargo hold of 795 Cubic Meters.
She had 2 diesel engines of 285 BHP/240KW and a electric propulsion motor.
She did Carrie passengers and cargo between Copenhagen and Greenland.
On the 17/7-1951 there occurred an crankcase explosion which set the ship on fire this happened at the Oksø LightHouse SE of Kristiansand Norway.
There where no casualties but the ship sank.
She's an astonishing contrast to the Kaskelot, built only a year later and for a similar purpose. GC Amdrup a modern motorship and Kaskelot a sailing auxiliary and, happily, still earning her keep in a different way

The heroes of this time - working hard for their money - I am pretty sure all of them specilists in wooden ship building
Værftet blev købt af Helsingør Skibsværft i 1943. Taget i forbindelse med byggeriet af grønlandsskibet "G. C. Amdrup", der blev det største træskib, der var bygget i Danmark siden Fregatten Jylland. Stabelafløbnngen fandt sted den 16. april 1947.
Registreringen indeholder kopi med navne på mange af personerne.

The same construction like shown in the film
The Kaskelot - somehow a sistership, build from the same shipwrights only one year later - is now called Le Français

Excellent video, I've enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for sharing, mon ami! They keep their tools sharp, look how sharp was the chisels to cut the excess of the treenail plug.
A fantastic 18 minutes, thanks for posting the video Stephan. I really enjoyed seeing key parts of the construction come together, it was very educational. Those guys were amazing craftsmen.
