Description   

Since there was no room for the complex task of preparing meals on the travelling boat, a kitchen tender was provided for the purpose. It would be morred alongside the travelling boat at meantimes. In the cabin, men are making bread, and on the deck, a man tends the oven while women grind flour. A mast nest stands in the stepping of the mast, but the mast and sail are missing. Cords on the rudder, oarlocks and bumper are restored.
