In the Main Cabin, where accommodation installations will begin soon, work is underway preparing for the final fit-out. Sam is seen here working on the interior “light-ceiling”. This inner planking is installed to isolate the hull planking and frames from the interior spaces. Ventilation holes are included across the top edge to ensure that air can freely flow between the “ceiling” and the hull to help keep the wood from deteriorating over time. All of the vertical partitions that create bunks, cabinets, and lockers will be built directly to this surface in the coming weeks.
