Large amounts of steel were delivered today in preparation for work on the area in the Evaporator Room where the new ORCA Septic System donated by EVAC North America will go and various ship's projects.

Moving steel that's 20 feet long can be difficult.

Zane Anderson climbed in the truck to hold down the steel angle pieces and needed J. Kenneth Grant to help out.  Then Scott Anderson was needed to weigh down another stack of steel.

The delivery driver for Wright Steel helped by walking behind and holding the stacks.

Andrew Schade carried down the pipe we bought.

We used the Cargo Hatch to send all the pieces down.

The cover is wedged in place with wood.

The wooden panels are probably original to the ship, there aren't identifying markings to verify this.

The wood definitely looks old enough.  Still very sturdy and heavy.

Using the crane to lower down the steel saves backs and time.

John Engstrom operates the crane and J. Kenneth Grant and Patrick Shubel were down in the Tank Deck to receive the steel.
