The builders of the wooden boat *Arabella* are salvaging bronze hardware and interior fittings from a donor vessel named *Victoria* to outfit their new build.0:57 The salvage inventory includes a bronze anchor windlass, a binnacle with a compass, gaff jaws, port lights, scuppers, and various interior latches and hinges.11:20 The team also recovered a maxi prop, which they intend to install on *Arabella* to improve propulsion efficiency in both forward and reverse.7:45 While most hardware is in reusable condition, damaged or redundant items—such as rudder hardware from a 40-foot boat and bent lifeline uprights—are designated for a smelting pot to be recast into custom fittings.2:59 The team is also salvaging mahogany interior components from *Victoria* to repurpose for *Arabella*.16:23 Despite the abundance of high-quality bronze, the hull of *Victoria* is structurally compromised by extensive rot in the forefoot, keel timber, and frames, confirming the decision to scrap the vessel rather than restore it.5:22
