Only parts not glued right now are the 3 dowels for the masts and the beak. The beak is the part sticking out from the bow under the dowel.  |

Added the next deck to the ship at the forward end. Still need to add the rest of deck supports and balsa, (for the centre of the deck supports as they are far to flexible).  |
