Crews lift the pilot house back into position atop the steamship Sabino on Wednesday, June 14, 2017 at Mystic Seaport's H.B. duPont Preservation Shipyard.
Sabino's pilot house was removed in December of 2014 at the beginning of a more than two-year restoration. A new boiler has been installed and Sabino is expected to be back in service later this summer.
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.
