A Day At Work

I have been working inside A6 this week. A6 is one of the many fresh water tanks onboard the ship and holds 68 metric tons of water. We are cleaning out all the rust and then we are going to put a new layer of cement on the inside. To get inside the tank is the most challenging part. I had to climb up behind the door crawl through the tank top and then down a rope ladder into the tank. We have had 5 people woking at a time inside it most of the week. Notice the emergency air tank, and portable gas dectector, very important for our safety, since it takes about five minutes for us all to get out of the tank.
