Mystic Seaport shipwright Walt Ansel and intern Louie Marendola, not pictured, work at removing old frames from the hull of the steamship Sabino Monday, July 6, 2015 at the H.B. duPont Preservation Shipyard.
The Sabino, built in 1908 in East Boothbay, Maine, is the last surviving coal-fired steamboat in regular operation today and is designated a National Historic Landmark vessel.
Sabino is expected to return to service offering cruises on the Mystic River for the summer of 2016.
