DRY, FRESH & PROTECTED
Normal bilge. Arid bilge.
Bilge-pump compartment
Same compartment; framing, lighting and prior processing differ. Archived photographs, not verified raw-camera files or a controlled performance test. No elapsed drying time is established.
Forward bilge compartment
Recovered archive photographs; framing and lighting differ. Pickup and tubing appear in the dry view. No elapsed drying time or single cause of change is established.
White-hose bilge
Camera position and apparent prior processing differ. Pickup tubing appears in the dry view; the photographs do not isolate a single cause of change.
White bilge hatch compartment
Opposite views of the same hatch compartment. Residue remains in the dry view; this is not proof of restoration or drying time.
Bilge-pump pocket
Views cropped from one archived comparison to exclude its old captions. Camera position, lighting and prior processing differ. Drying time and sole cause of change are not established.
Divided engine room
Upper-compartment detail only. The pump, cross member and adjacent floor remain visible. The lower floor and pickup are excluded with the old text; this does not represent the whole compartment. Camera position, lighting and prior processing differ. Drying time and sole cause of change are not established.
Engine-room channel
The top 84 pixels and central divider are excluded, including the old wording and upper photographic context. The pump, white switch housing, standing water or exposed floor, and added tubing remain visible. Camera position, lighting and prior processing differ. Drying time and sole cause of change are not established.
Aft sump
Closer views retain the visible pump portions, yellow switch, water or floor and wiring; the white pickup plate remains visible in the after view. They exclude the foreground divider, upper corrugated hose and surrounding compartment context. The before window spans y185–440 and the after window y155–410 to follow the different camera framing. These are close-up details, not full-compartment views. Camera position, lighting and prior processing differ. Drying time and sole cause of change are not established.
Bilge pumps
Closer views keep the white pump bases, red pumps, hose clamps and adjacent water or floor. In addition to the existing side crop, the bottom 151 pixels are excluded, removing mostly foreground wiring and the lower compartment edge. The red pumps and a strip of water or floor below them remain visible. Camera position, lighting and prior processing differ. Drying time and sole cause of change are not established.
Long white machinery channel
The top 320 pixels, bottom 200 pixels and central divider are excluded. This removes old wording together with upper machinery and lower channel context; the principal pump and channel comparison remains visible. Camera position, lighting and prior processing differ. Drying time and sole cause of change are not established.
Engine-room bilge
Top and bottom caption strips are excluded. Pump base, yellow switch, water or floor and foreground hose remain visible; the upper pump extension is partly cropped. Camera position, lighting and prior processing differ. Drying time and sole cause of change are not established.
Forward engine room
Pump detail only. The upper hose and lower switch context are excluded with the old captions. Pump housings, wires and adjacent water or floor remain visible. Camera position, lighting and prior processing differ. Drying time and sole cause of change are not established.
Engine-room keel sump
The top 64 pixels, bottom 90 pixels and central divider are excluded. This removes the old wording together with upper and lower photographic context; the principal keel-sump comparison remains visible. Camera position, lighting and prior processing differ. Drying time and sole cause of change are not established.
Side bilge pocket
The top 108 pixels and central divider are excluded, including the old wording and upper bracket or beam context. Water or exposed floor, cream rollers and the gray plate remain visible. Camera position, lighting and prior processing differ. Drying time and sole cause of change are not established.
Pipes and valves
Complete photo panels recovered from the text-free archive composite. Lighting and prior processing are not controlled; drying time and sole cause are not established.
Elbow fitting
Viewpoint and flash differ. Complete photo panels recovered from the text-free archive composite; drying time and sole cause are not established.
