Chilly Damp Day at the Freight Shed

Trunnels
Drilling Hole for Trunnel
Today is a very cold day. We finished the second frame and the third is all laid out. It seems like we are moving a lot faster on things now, which is good. Some people worked on transferring lines from one side of the futtocks to the other. Others worked on making more bents. Most people worked on drilling and putting trunnels into the frame.
    Vocabulary word for the day:  truancy  -Means to stay away from school or work with out permission. We’re not all showing up on time every day and that’s a problem so we brought up that subject today.
  
Trunnel Up Close
History:  In December of 1607 half of the colony left to go back to England. They left so that they could save food and supplies because they did not think that they would have enough for every one during the winter of 1608. They had arrived to late to grow crops so they had to depend on the supplies they brought from England.
