  1. Two bronze cannons recovered from the San Vincente, a Spanish galleon scuttled in 1797 in Trinidad when the British over powered the Spanish and took position of the island. They fired the ship at anchor so the British could not get the cannons. the sheaves are Made from Lignum Vitae from blocks taken off the same wreck. Cannon ball was also taken from the wreck.
  2. Ab here are the picture taken in the basement. As you know the light is not very good which is reflected in the quality of the photographs. It is. Stunning display Best regards Kevin 6AEF2492-3719-4DC4-B6D1-5E1ECE640C51.MOV 071A862F-2A1B-4F15-B527-501B1E38E040.MOV 99CD2056-D9B8-4CB7-8B0A-9D2EAF9407B9.MOV 34AC2237-DD00-404A-A9F7-A69F4B764752.MOV 6A119B30-9777-4DFE-A8A5-400F8DC3FAB0.MOV 7BDB9052-7213-4C15-83C6-E661216D5848.MOV

  5. I am keeping tags on this thread as part of my research is to find some data on dutch ships in 1677 in the hope of one day making a model of some sort. I have all of Ab’s books and was at the Rljka museum in May and stood next to the Rex. The museum was a WOW. below is a photo of the film Tobago 1677 where the Dutch fought the French resulting in 20 wrecks in the harbour.

  10. Kurt your suggestion is perfect. I sent the motor to a repair service but will order the replacement to pick up when i am in New York in November. thanks kevin
  11. Hi the motor on my Preac saw has died. Anyone know where i can buy a replacement motor? best regards kevin
  12. In my research i discovered that the ship is the Roebuck class, she was originally called the Janus. Ironically she is one of the ships i intend to build for which i have all the plans and data.
  13. The divers have decided to give me the items that they dived up which I will keep and offer to a local museum at some time in the future. Here are three other artefacts taken many years ago. The first is a brick, the second a dead eye and the last is a block
