More measurements are taken. In all over 2.700 would be taken
The holes above the deadwood and keel in the centre, with floors either side and diagonal scarf joints of the double heighted futtocks in the middle top of the picture
The floor on the right hand side can be seen as damaged, which was probably done during the wrecking process
A diagonal scarf joint on the timbers, joining the upper and lower futtocks together and held in place with a trunnel
The larger end of the diagonal scarf joint can be seen on the upper right of the picture
Another station hole to be uncovered
Slowly the sand is removed to reveale the timbers
The central section missing any signs of a keelson, the bow apron on the left and 7 floors visible
As we move amidships or the rear of the remaining uncovered area, there are clear signs of the damage caused by the wrecking process, as the hull breaks
The uncovered lower bow section with the first 5 metres visible without a grid. The large apron and starboard cant frames with the port strakes are showing
The front section can be seen as the paralel cant frames join the floors
The floors and first futtocks clearly visable
View from under the grid
