Cargo hatches

Cargo hatch openings were made using traditional timber frame joinery to ensure the structural integrity during cargo loading and unloading. Removable floor timbers are used during loading and a watertight cover secures the lower cargo holds. This provides extra security for the cargo, and more floor space for the upper cargo hold. Yamileth was taken on as a timber frame apprentice for this construction and did some of the joinery herself.
