>>1209167It i not mine, I am merely in love with her. I am yet lowest of the deckscrubs (quite literally).
She is the oldest seaworthy Sailing steamer in the world. Due to failed processes, she is only half iron, but the iron will last longer than the newer steel plates. She was built in 1867 in Oslo and is called SDS Hansteen (seildampskip - sailing steam ship).
Since her restoration in 80s and 90s we found out that the whole rigg was not restored to the original state, so our upcoming project for the next two years will be rebuilding it until we can sail the fjords both on steam and sails.
My part revolves around blacksmithing parts. We essentially aim towards bolted everything and no electrical welding (there was none back then). Last week I made steam whistle holders that are going to be bolted (screwed and camouflaged as bolted since noone wants to go down the chimney with heavy bolting equipement and noone wants to pay for it...)
