The ATLANTIDE model hull with the interior floating in fresh water Plexiglas tank.  The model has been ballasted to add weight to the hull and evenly distribute the weight of the hull for better handling the model.  It just so worked out that the model is sitting on her lines with most of the weights of the model in place.
Note: The small level on the boathouse deck.  The ballasting was done with small lead shot
