Building the Hull Stage 2
The planked hull, complete with individually planked decks. Care is taken to plank the ship in as much a similar fashion as the original ship would have been planked.

Gun ports are built before the planking, so are all below-deck furniture and accessories that may be visible once the ship is completed.

Next step would be to built the top-handrails, wales, paint and hull decorations.
