These photos show where it all comes together.
Individual carpenters responsible for different areas
of the boat move pieces in and out of the boat to check
the fit, then return the piece to their bench to
continue their work. As a result, It's often difficult
to judge the progress. One week some cabinetry is in
place, the next week it's gone. But in fact it's all
making progress and coming together!
On the other hand, the mechanics and electricians do
all of their work in place. Plumbing, wiring and
various mechanical advices make steady and visible
progress.
