This was a large stage, that almost felt like it could have been split up into two separate stages; I built the third funnel, and then built what I think is meant to be the housing for the compass as described way back in 2.4.21 at the start of section 4. I don't have much more commentary, so here's the mise-en-place.
Another large collection of blocks this time.

You've already seen me build two funnels, so I won't post a bunch of pictures of that. There are a few subtle differences, so if you do want to see more, check out the Google Photos album. Here's the finished funnel.
The third funnel, in place on the build.

Then I added these two 1x6 tiles, which created the two small holes on either side of the funnel assembly.
The 1x6 tiles have been added in front of the assembly, going across the build.

I wasn't sure exactly what they were for, but you'll note the bar visible in the closer one, which if you recall is similar to the bars the bench assemblies were clipped to in section 3. So I was not too surprised when I built these:
Two small bench assemblies, one of which is laid out but not assembled so the component pieces are visible.

I put them in place, and added two lifeboats.
The bench assemblies in place on the build, with a lifeboat added on either side as well.

Next I built the compass housing.
Two 2x6 base pieces, attached with a 1x10 plate on one side, and a 2x8 block down the center.
More structural support, and two grated windows on either side, have been added to the previous sub-assembly.
The base has been covered in tiles.Railings, ship vents, and a grated sloped roof have been added.
The whole compass housing sub-assembly has been attached to the main build.

Finally, I connected sections three and four.
The middle third of the ship. There are still a few gaps along the seam in the plates covering the hull and on deck.
Next time I'll patch those holes in the hull and deck, add legs, and then connect this third of the boat to the first third from Box one. I'm very much looking forward to the next section.

Thanks as always for reading!

Discussion prompt: What's your favorite element of the build so far? For me, it's a tie between the car door walls in the cross sections, and the tiny bench assemblies that clip into place.
