Work is finished in the ship yard and Ernestina gets underway!

July 12th through 30th
Extensive work is completed at Kelley's Yard and the Ernestina crew work on the interior of the ship to get ready for a busy sailing season.

 

One of the water tanks goes back into the fish hold area. A 6' by 10' table will be built over the top of the tanks.

The woodwork is going in for the heads and the plumbing goes back in for the septic tank and fire system.

Ernestina is launched on July 21st. This is a view over the bow as the ship slips back into the water on the railway.

The Fixed CO2 fire extinguishing system for the engine room is remounted, renovated and tested.

The "rate of rise" detector and one of the 15 nozzles is shown that trigger and deliver the CO2 into the engine room in the event of a fire. A smoke detector is also shown.
