Tub not attached yet so it’s placed at an angle for photo purpose The “Canvas” process --Took a piece of old cotton tee shirt, stretched it out very tight tacked it down, several coats of spray primer was applied to both sides, followed by several coats of tan/ OD green regular can spray paint The drying, spraying process made the cotton stiff. Glued a plastic rod to the top to hold its shape, then made holes 5 mm apart in the top, sewed to the rail with rigging line treated with wax and white glue solution. Ship rigging experience came in handy here. Added the hull drain & bilge ports ready for clean-up & weathering    | ||

Again my understanding is they mainly held the survival supplies, men in the water could hold on the hand lines on the side, but mostly they grabbed what ever debris was floating by | ||
