Fig. 10.
The small double line on the stem is the iron stem band*
The line separating the apron from the stem indicates the position
of the rabbeting for taking the ends of the planking.
The three small shaded pieces are the timbers.
The fitting with the three through bolts is for the attachment of the
lifting hook. Note that in this case the stem band is extended far
enough aft to take the heads of these bolts. If not extended so far, a
separate plate must be fitted.
