    Fragment of an Austrian merchant ship at the end of the 18th century "Launch of Victoria in Le Havre in 1782, France, 18th Century" The boats were nested. http://westernworld.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/479656817.jpg

    But returning to the question raised. This drawing from 1759 perfectly shows two boats. One is on the deck (only fragments are visible) and the second boat from above is located on the topmasts. It is very well shown how exactly the boat is attached. Deutsch_ Frederik den Femtes Atlas Segelplan, Seitenansicht Fregatte Sjöridderen https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Soeridderen.jpg

    Good afternoon, colleagues! I think that the boat was put inside another boat when everything was cleaned inside. Here is an example.. but a different age https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-86757 It remains to find proof that this was done in the 18th century.

    Hello, Allan! This source is "Seamanship in the Age of Sail An Account of the Shiphandling of the Sailing Man-Of-War, 1600-1860" by John Harland As far as I know, it was a common practice when one boat was placed in another. I have seen drawings in the archive and met a description in the literature. I think the models in NMM showed only one boat on top of two topmast for simplification. There was always a lot of reserve spars on the ship (topmasts, topgallant masts, yards, topsail yards). And smaller boats (cutter and yawls) would also be put on them as Marquardt showed according to Captain Cook's description. The source is "Anatomy of the Ship: Captain Cook's ENDEAVOUR" by Karl Heinz Marquardt. But they didn't show so much on the models. I think so. I continue to look for a reliable source from the 18th century, where we can read about this in detail. Eugen, "Master Korabel"

    Good afternoon, dear colleagues. There are many models in NMM, which show that the boat stands on the topmaps and is secured with ropes. Several books have brief information on this, which is based on the same models from the museum, I think so. Interested in more detailed information on how the boat was attached to the topmaps in the 18th century? Is there a book of the 18th century (original source) about this method? Thanks!

    We are trying to speed up the process, despite the quarantine in the country.

    Our plans for the coming years: 1. English /Russian 24-gun cutter (brig) "Mercury", (bought by Russia 1788). Commander Robert Crown - Scotsman in Russian service. 2. Swedish/Russian 44-gun frigate "Venus", 1783 (captured by the Russians in 1789). Design by F. Chapman. 3. Russian 52-gun frigate "Pallas", 1832. 4. 90-gun ship "St. Paul", 1794. Flagship of the Black Sea Fleet by Admiral F. Ushakov All reconstruction according to archival drawings located in the Russian archives. And we are actively working on this in recent years.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
