Page 13 - Joining hull to lower keel

	The hull is lifted out of the building cradle.
	It is lined up over the lower keel.
	The hull is carefully lowered onto the keel.
	The upper and lower keels are welded to each other.
	The hull, with ballasted lower keel attached, is lifted and moved back to the building frame, where it will be propped to keep it upright at its now elevated height.
