Amazing Work on the New Teak Deck by the Carpenters’ Union December 21, 2022

A special thanks to the members of the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters, Local 251 and Local 255 for their extraordinary work on the new teak deck of the Battleship!  The fantail, 01 deck and main deck portside decks are completed and look amazing.  The team is now working on the forecastle (forward deck) and the starboard deck.   These should be completed in the spring of 2023.

Bravo Zulu!
