You see the fragment of this building with an entrance door in opening of gun port on the photo.
A grate on port is a certificate that before a reconstruction during that your photo is done, a ship was used as floating prison and storage.

In support - pay attention to here this structure.

Hello, Rob!
I studied those photos that I have and came to the conclusion attentively, that On your photo shown here this gun port.
 

I think that on Image3C shown here this part of
 prowhttp://modelshipworld.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=20150

if interesting you - I have  a book in an electronic kind
"The Royal Warship Vasa" PDF 87000 kilo-byte

Ready to consider a question about deportation on an electronic address.
Konstantin.

Rob, thank you !
A photo is actual - deserve attention.
If possible - specify more detailed information - when were these photos done, what period they behave to, where they are proposed or published ?
With kind regards, Konstantin.

 robipod,
your opinion can not offend me.
Vice versa, it adds new knowledge to the studied question.
The change of height upper deck before beakhead bulkhead found a reflection even in kit, that sell in shops.For example, firm JoTiKa and Shipyard in the models show not heaved up nasal part of upper deck and step formed by the grate of latrine.

garyshipwright considers that a deck it was heaved up from the change of form of main head rail approximately after 1830.

 In Goodwin's "English Man of War" it is said that a nasal deck(prow deck) after 1676 was always done by lifted, what a bowsprit passed through this part of deck and did not pass through beakhead bulkhead and did not weaken her.

In any case is a question this interesting, because shows the type of ship in a certain period.

Nasal part of deck was heaved up later, than ship is built.
The underbody of beakhead bulkhead testifies to it, on that until now there are decorative pilaster and partial continuation of roundhous below than level of deck on a side in the district of head reils of latrine.
Probably, a deck it was heaved up because from an error in constructing before beakhead bulkhead a bowl turned out in 2 feet in depth, that was filled by water at skipper's daughter...
I have interest too, what you looked books through this question.
Especially I am interested by "HMS Victory - Building, Restoration & Repairs" Arthur R. Bugler,that I can not find on-line.

Prompt me - how to place pictures in posts on your web-site ?

Konstantin.

Hello, Alexandru!

Thank you for attention to my question.

you understood me correctly.

But, I consider that in McKay's plans there is not an error.

I regret, but I can not show pictures on your forum.

Look position of D1 from "Anatomy of The Ships -  HMS Victory" of John McCay - will pay attention to height of bottom of "decorative pilaster .".(p.18)  beakhead bulkhead.


Compare - as beakhead bulkhead looks today.


Look kit from Jotika - on McKay's plans : with a step after the grate of latrine.

And when and why changed the height of nasal part of deck is a question !

Konstantin.

Good afternoon !
I ask I am sorry my English - I use automatic translator.
I talk on behalf of members of forum Serikoff Ship Models
We build the models of HMS Victory.
Studying "Anatomy of The Ships -  HMS Victory" of John McCay and modern photos of ship, we paid attention to such fact.
Forehand of upper deck ahead beakhead bulkhead on a modern ship lifted on 1-1,5 foot by comparison to pictures from McCay and is at one level with the grate of latrine(grating).Before grating stood higher than nasal part of upper deck.

That do you think on this occasion ?

Computer technologies is good.
But, that you will say concerning distinctions between the construction of corps on "Anatomy of The Ships -  HMS Victory" of John McCay and type of ship today?
