trippwj Posted March 12, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2013 As many of you may be aware, the Mystic Seaport Museum is in the midst of a restoration of the Whaling bark Charles W. Morgan. Plans are firming up to re-launch the Morgan on July 21, 2013. The restoration is moving along at a brisk pace. The Shipwirghts Blog currently has a number of photo's showing the hull planking and beginning of copper plate installation. While there are some decidedly modern tools being used, it gives a good idea of the challenge of planking a vessel of this size! avsjerome2003 and Guillermo Madico 2 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSzwarc Posted March 16, 2013 Share #2 Posted March 16, 2013 Interesting photos, showing how barely visible things like trunnels and coppering nails are closeup, never mind at modeling scale. avsjerome2003 1 Quote Mike_______________________________In progress: nothingCompleted:Midwest Chesapeake Bay flattiescratchbuilt Grand Banks doryYoung Modeler 1:100 turtle ship “This was the morning when father, mending one hole in the thermos-flask, made three” --Dylan Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SketchupModeller Posted March 16, 2013 Share #3 Posted March 16, 2013 This also shows how big things are (planks, trunnels, etc.) in real life. Quote Brandon Current project: HMS Pandora (1779) CAD build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
