Form 10-900-a Wisconsin Word Processing Format (Approved 1/92) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Advance Shipwreck (Barge) Section 7 Page 4 Town of Nasewaupee, Door County, Wisconsin Outer hull planking remains extant on both the port and starboard sides of the site. These planks measure 0.2 feet thick and vary from 1.4 feet to 0.7 feet wide decreasing further away from the keelson structure. Port side outer hull planking is located between at 20.0 feet and 122.0 feet along the baseline and extends outward as far as 9.5 feet. Starboard side outer hull planking begins at 5.8 feet and ends at 118.0 feet along the baseline extending outward as far as 19.0 feet. The vessel’s ceiling planking remains extant on the starboard side of the site measuring 0.8 feet and 1.3 feet wide near the keel and 0.9 feet wide at the turn of the bilge. The thickness of ceiling planking varies between 0.5 feet next to the keelson and 0.3 feet at the turn of the bilge. The ceiling planking and outer hull planking are fastened to each frame set with four iron fasteners measuring 0.05 feet in diameter. The fasteners are roved atop the ceiling planking and peened on the outside of the vessel. The main hull frame sets end at the turn of the bilge, 15 feet outbound, on the starboard side of the keelson structure. Between 30 feet and 80 feet along the baseline these frame sets remain fastened to outer and ceiling planking using sets of four roved and peened bolts. At this location another set of frame sets are attached to the outside of the lower hull component. Each frame of the upper hull set measures 0.4 feet sided with a total sided measurement of 0.8 feet per frame set. The frames measure 0.65 feet molded and range between 4.0 feet and 6.0 feet in length. These upper frames sit on a shelf of two large outer hull planks that measure 0.5 feet thick and 0.7 feet wide. Five outer hull planks measuring 0.7 feet wide and 0.15 feet thick continue from this shelf up the frames. The two sets of frames, ceiling planking, and two sets of outer planking measure a total of 1.95 feet in thickness and are fastened together using a four set of iron fasteners similar to the rest of the hull. However, the lower right bolt of each set is structurally more heavily fastened than the rest. This bolt has a diameter of 0.15 feet and is fastened with two washers and two nuts. Each washer is square in shape and measures 0.35 feet by 0.35 feet with a thickness of 0.05 feet. These were placed on top of the ceiling planking and then topped with a round nut measuring 0.35 feet in diameter with a thickness of 0.1 feet. The topmost nut is square in shape and measures 0.2 feet by 0.2 feet with a thickness of 0.1 feet. The entire fastening mechanism measures 0.3 feet thick and is located at the same location atop the one ceiling planking, along the turn of the bilge. It is believed that this particular hull component is the remaining part of a bustle. During Advance’s reconstruction into a lighter in 1911 she was widened 10 feet with the use of a bustle. To accomplish this, another set of frames was attached to the outside of the original hull frames at the waterline essentially producing a wider deck and higher cargo capacity without replacing the entirety of the hull. On the starboard side between 30 feet and 70 feet on the baseline a large section of the hull was located approximately 80 feet from the main wreckage. The section measures 36.2 feet in length and 16.4 feet wide and contains frame sets, outer hull planking, and ceiling planking. Seven frames sets are present and spaced 1.2 feet apart. The single frames measure between 3.2 feet and 11.5 feet long with widths of 0.4 feet and 0.3 feet per set. Eleven outer hull planks are attached to the frames. The outer hull planks measure between 1.1 feet and 1.3 feet wide with lengths ranging from 5.2 feet to 27.4 feet.
