Early days on the Bridge
This picture is one of the earliest I have of the Bridge of the ship being constructed. At this stage there is little by way of wiring installed (and there is a lot of wiring now in place) and the windows have protective coverings fitted. Cable trays in the deck-heads can be seen, there are more below the deck. See the images below for more information
This shows the Bridge with the windows exposed and deck panels missing. Wiring still to be run
This shows some of the cable runs that are beneath the deck on the Bridge
A hole was cut into the deck above the Bridge (Deck 10) and all the consoles were then craned into Deck 9 (Bridge Deck)
Bridge consoles were pre-built and lifted onto the Bridge for final fitting

The conning seats are powered and came attached to the their tracks
