The container are now moved from Fredrikstad to Sjursøya, were the friendly harbour authorities of Oslo allow us to store the container. This week we started to take out the hydraulics from Mohawk. The wooden parts which where stored in the container are transported to headquarter, and the restoring process is started. All the doors, the panels from the saloon, and all the loose gear from the deck will be a lot of work to start with. We are happy about getting started, at last.

Alas the Norwegian department of antiques did not stay true to its indications, and in such failed to give us any means of support.
We are flabbergasted, but we'll try to pay little attention to this, and hope for support next year.

We need to get along and continue the work towards raising a financial ground on our own to save this very special beautiful and unique historic ship. We have so much positive respose from so many. Both the ship yard and our selves are still convinced that we will succeed.
