Endurance hull work

Hi guys. I've attached a photograph of the Endurance in dry dock ( though she may still have been the Polaris at this stage). It seems she has metal (?copper) plating on her stem and keel. Also, I don't know what is happening to her hull where large sections of planking on both lower sides seem to have been removed. Plus, looking at the hull closely there seem to be several different thicknesses showing. Can anyone throw any light/explanations on these points?
Cheers Harry.

Thanks for the interesting photo. The lower hull was covered with a thick band of ironwood prior to the Antarctic trip and this is presumably that very tough wood. It was to resist lateral ice pressure so no need for it to cover the very bottom. Metal sheathing on the prow was fairly standard for ice sailing.

The site from the UK surprised me in a good way everything from the first minutes Swift Casino of the game begins to be clear and after a few minutes of playing I felt a real excitement and interest a great way to relax after a hard day if you are looking for a good time or just to play you here

Good observations the metal plating is almost certainly copper sheathing, common for polar ships to reduce ice damage and marine growth. The missing planks likely indicate she was mid-refit possibly reinforcing the hull with additional layers for ice duty. The varied thicknesses support that idea she may have been getting extra sheathing or inspection of inner timbers.

When I compare gaming clubs, I find that a straightforward website and clearly presented conditions make the process much easier. I usually look for licensing information, participation rules, age requirements, responsible-gaming provisions and any geographical restrictions before considering other features. ZeusWin Casino can be another option to examine during that process, particularly if you are already comparing several platforms. I would still treat it as part of a broader review and read the current terms carefully so there are no surprises about eligibility or applicable restrictions.
Good Thumbsup

You can take a look to my hull built of the endurance here :


I ended doing the the "iron wood planking". As the image posted on this thread.
