History of the Manufacture of the 'La Fortune' Junk Boat

The construction and manufacturing phase total time for this Junk Boat ranged over approximately 9 months to the birth of Junk Boat "La Fortune".

After restoring the hull, Pascal and his team begin the manufacturing process; to develop the infrastructure and equip what would become the Junk “La Fortune”.
