Working around this type of heavy machinery is potentially very dangerous work, and safety

has always been paramount to the SBRHS when restoring the old girl. Our volunteers

have always kept that in mind, and because of that we have a flawless safety record.

But that's not to say that they didn't have a sense of humor while working!
