Boat handling cranes added and rigged, start made on the weather deck railings.

Hi Zak,
I agree, Haddock's Shipyard keeps putting out models that are just superlative.
No description really reflects the skill of the man.
True respect for all his builds.

I hope my next is always better

Trumpeter are in the process of issuing  "SMS Viribus Unitis" and "SMS Szent Istvan",
both Austro-Hungarian dreadnaughts, I've put them on my watching list at Hannants.

Was the Viribus Unitis the one sunk by frogmen hours after she was given over to the new Yugoslavian navy ????

This is the "SMS Szent  Istvan", note the platform around the funnels and the lack of
anti-torpedo nets, I think this is a more interesting looking ship, although, both would be nice.

Haddock.
After giving the matter some serious thought here's one or two answers to your question.
They could be the anchor party making ready.
OR they could be having a game of conkers.
OR it could be a group of cadets undergoing training.
OR it could be a game of hopscotch.
OR they could be discussing the relative merits of various composers or poets.
OR the derrick could be a big fishing rod and they're fishing for their supper.
OR a load of sailors telling mucky jokes (highly unlikely)
Hope this helps.
Haddock.
