Frames 1 and 2

Curves of Frame #2

Trunnels

What we did: Everybody was busy at the freight shed today.
There were people working on the frames for Virginia. One frame is completely finished, and another frame is almost done. Another group worked on the jig making more bows. We had visitors from our sister city in Japan. They came to the freight shed and were taught how to make grommets by Kelsey Brick.

History: A Bath built ship called the Cheeseborough was stranded in a storm off the coast of Japan. The

Japanese villagers saved them, creating our sister city. Every year

some people from Japan come to Bath, and some people from Maine go to Japan.

Vocabulary: Keelson-In wooden shipbuilding, a keelson is a piece of timber in a ship laid  on the middle of the floor timbers over the keel, and binding the floor timbers to the keel.
