# Seven Balclutha Reconstruction Studies

> Seven governed views of one complete visual research vessel.

<Note>
  These studies present what is visible, what the accepted evidence establishes, and what remains unresolved. They do not provide reconstruction instructions or engineering approval.
</Note>

## One vessel, seven research views

The complete Balclutha research vessel is easier to question when its evidence can be viewed at different levels. These seven studies keep the same governed identity register while changing only the presentation.

## Shared boundary

All seven studies remain display-only research. Raw STEP, raw TIFF, source PDF, browser upload, measurement authority, engineering authority, and work release remain disabled.
