Very difficult taking this type of picture without using flash. There are four deck lights all attached to the outside of the superstructure; one on each corner. Navigation lights on the wheelhouse and a solitary white atop the mizzen. I can't make out any others from the photos in my possession. There is also a light in the wheelhouse and one in the galley. The latter are on the navigation light circuit while there is a separate circuit for the deck lights. The light switches are both in the fish hold. The equipment in the wheelhouse consists of an echo sounder, engine control panel, radio and a clock (with radio silence indicator times). A stove for the galley is next and I'm sure I'll notice other things as I go along.
Absolutely fabulous, you keep lifting the bar higher and higher.

I think I just get carried away. I now have a skipper who with much surgery I managed to get in behind the wheel. Once he was in I realised just how cramped these old wheelhouses were, unlike the luxuries of the modern day. So now I can close the wheelhouse up. I'm in the middle of making the galley stove at present. I was gonna put a light bulb in it to represent the fire but then pulled back from silliness gone mad. I know nothing about the original stove so I'm making a slightly smaller one than that in the Fisheries museum which I use for reference. The Anst'er museum is great for information and exhibits and each visit answers a lot of my queries.
