@Kusawa2000 Looks like winter must take its toll on her. She looks be in ruff shape requiring constant maintenance.

john: They are doing a major restoration on her right now.. the hull has been completed and they are now working on the structure above deck.. I imagine there has been some scraping and sanding going on at this point.

Thanks Mike, Great shots of the lighting.  Good confirmation of the type of lighting. My research has shown the use of a Dyno for electricity on board. 
 

I will be placing an LED in those cavities along with the inside lighting and over cargo doorways, staircases, etc…

John: good approach. And be aware they light is located on both sides of the ship at the same spot. Great progress.. As mentioned they are doing major restoration on her right now and she isnt open to the public. This is year 2 of the restoration. Based on the progress I suspect they will be at it next year as well

Doors and Windows continue… I have also started wiring for lights. @Kusawa2000 Mike, note the deck lighting in the last pic. 😉

Cheers 🍻 

 

Steady as she goes…

John: The lighting is dead on! Ready for loading the 10 cords of firewood!
