At the shipyard - Fred's favorite haunt - a most unbelievable feat of engineering was taking place. Rossland's hull, battered and rotting from nearly twelve years of service, had to be replaced. By first building a new hull the old one would be removed and the superstructure slid sideways onto the new one. A six month job, Fred witnessed every minute of it.
