🔨 The Maid of Baltimore – Refurbishment Update
As we progress with the refurbishment of The Maid of Baltimore, we’re occasionally uncovering a few hidden surprises along the way!
While carefully scraping back the paint on the transom, we discovered an area of rotten timber that needed some attention. Having removed the affected timber and replaced it with new, we’re now carefully scarfing in each section to create a strong, stable transom.
Once the work is complete, we’ll sand everything back, fill and fair the surface, ready for painting. The aim is to leave a beautifully smooth finish, with no visible trace of the repairs beneath the fresh paint!
It’s all part of giving this lovely boat the care and attention she deserves. ⚓
