No Deck

With the complete removal of Shamrock's deck, port covering board and sheer strake* her port frames have been exposed revealing that although some frames will have to be repaired or renewed it is not as bad as the starboard side and only the after section of the beamshelf will need renewing. Most of the port side rot has been wet rot with only small amounts of mycelium being found. Shamrock's forward cargo hold main beam will need to be renewed as the removal of the main tabernacle has revealed substantial rot and when combined with the rot and a shake in the starboard side, that had already been noted, it means that it’s repair is not an option and it must be replaced.
