Close up of the Navigation Consol constructed with woods from the Calypso and Alcyone
Internal foot pump system. You are looking "inside" the back cockpit, towards the front. Water is pumped out by foot through the tubes, out a brass gromet that is been glued into the outer hull.

 

The center deck of the Double Helix showing the compass positioned between the rose vines. The navigation console was added after this picture to the front right of the rear cockpit.

 

Looking forward, while the Double Helix rests on still waters mirroring the evening sky.
An uncommon sight: the Double Helix not in motion.
