torpedochief Posted March 26, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 26, 2017 If someone could help me out as I can find nothing on what the Sweeps would look like and where would they be stored when under sail. Thank you. Chief Canute and thibaultron 2 Quote Author of the Submarine Thrillers OF ICE AND STEEL and EPITAPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyCity Frankie Posted April 5, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 5, 2017 The Brig Niagara had sweeps aboard for a season or two before discontinuing their inclusion. They were stored midships supported on each end between the masts and here are some photos I dug up on the internet. I was curious about sweeps too so I asked some Niagara crew members about the sweeps. They rolled their eyes and said they could only remember their being tested once. Aparently it was so disagreeable that they never tried again and in fact I believe Niagara no longer sails with them aboard.
