Update Information

The quarter galleries are now being worked on, with their lights (windows) opened up. Also, along the tops of the bulwarks the hammock netting cranes have been fitted. Between these netting was strung, into which the seamen would place their rolled-up hammocks. They would be covered by canvas to keep them dry, and were also somewhat useful at protecting the men from some of the smaller enemy fire during action.
