The Bumpers
nailed in place, at bow and stern. See the plan, [Fig. 221], and the elevation, [Fig. 222]. The bumpers must be made of 2-inch plank, 8 feet long by about 9 inches wide; wide enough to cover A and A´ of [Fig. 219], and to leave room for a bevel at the bottom edge to meet the slant of the bow and stern, and still have room at the top to cover the edge of the deck to the hull (see [Fig. 222]).
