My schedule has been crazy this month and its been four weeks since my last visit to the ship! It was great to be back onboard today and there was lots to do. We had a good turnout from the Brass Team and everyone had their tasks to complete. Today the weather was bitter cold but I wanted to finish the compass cover I had worked on my last time onboard. Since I had polished it and put it back in place unprotected four weeks ago it had tarnished again rapidly so I had to give it a quick polishing again before applying several coats of clear lacquer. In between coats of lacquer I worked in the Brass Shop polishing up several brass switch plates. As promised I managed to finish up a little early today and go up to the Bridge for some photos of the ships original wheel, back in place in the Conning Station. In the last few weeks the Brass Team polished up everything in the Conning Station, and with the wheel back in place, it looks awesome! That's about it for today's trip, hope you enjoy the photos. |

wheel is so highly polished you can actually see details of items on the bulkhead in front of it, reflected in its surface! |
