In some time it will be possible to walk from the restaurant right onto the elevated terrace. It gives an unrestricted view over the harbor and the river Maas. And, of course, all activities on the dockyard.
The other pictures show the keel. At the moment it is on its side. After the parts have been joined with very large rivets, the "false keel" will be attached. This is a thinner and somewhat wider extra keel under the keel. If the keel should hit something while sailing, the damaged part of this false keel will be replaced.

When all this is done, the keel will be placed in the upright position on the blocks. Than the sternpost can be joined. (See the two pictures on the right) This will happen at the World Harbor Days.
