 Good afternoon, gentlemen!

Please tell me the Dimensions of the Grapnel anchor of the 19th century

for ship`s boats (25-42 feet in length) and gunboats (60-70 feet in length).

Eugen

Latest news.

We have prepared the design of the second box for the  wooden kit ref. MK0304D "42-ft launch with a 24-pound carronade"

MK0304D differs from ref. MK0304 by having no masts, rigging and sails. There are also no drawings for the mast, rigging or sails in box.

Therefore, the kit ref. MK0304D will be cheaper.

Several assemblies of different modelers.

I share a link to the photo instruction and text instructions (so far only in Russian).

But I think if you are interested,  Google Translator can help a little

Finally, the long-awaited assembly photo instruction of the wooden kit MK0304 is ready.

Another step has been taken

Amongst other measures Hood took one may mention the garrisoning , which he commissioned as a sloop-of-war to blockade the approaches of Martinique.

My respect, colleagues!

In a russian book of the 19th century I found an interesting drawing of HMS "Diamond Rock" 

I was wondering which ships had this flag?

Dear friends, I bring to your attention "Drawings of ship flags of different states. The beginning of the XVIII century."

Collection of Peter the Great.

This album will help the modeler to reliably decorate his model

Eugen, please accept my sincerest apologies. But maybe there are some other relevant documents? I promise I would not interfere anymore...

 

🙂

 

 

It was a joke!😉

I am glad that you took the initiative and started the search on your own.

Go on!!!!

Information should be useful, not a dead weight.

It is very good that there is an opportunity to exchange information that is available in archives and libraries of different countries.

I am sure this will allow us to get a full understanding of all the issues.

There is a lot of information about the Royal Navy in the archives of Russia.

Many documents have not been scanned and thousands of pages with useful information for us have not even been read by anyone over the past few centuries.

Researchers will have many discoveries

I hope so.

..., all to be done was to follow up and look through all the digitised documents of the period there...

 

 

Unfortunately, not all documents have been digitized or posted on the library's website.

Most, if not all of them, have a character of standing orders for the fleet (duties, procedures, food allowances, wages etc.).

 

 

Waldemar, You beat me to it😁

I was just planning to inform the public about this document.

My respects, gentlemen!

I am glad that you have found this information useful for further research.

I would like to add that these pages are located among the personal documents of the Russian tsar Peter  I in The Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences .

The Library was founded in 1714 by Tsar Peter I.

By the way, I also want to say that there are a lot of drawings of English ships of the 18th-19th centuries in the Russian archives.

I can say with confidence that there are drawings of English ships that are not in the English or Danish archives. Today they are unique.

Many shipbuilders from Russia were trained and practiced at English shipyards. The students made copies of the original drawings and brought them back to Russia. 

Some drawings were sent to Russia by English shipbuilders or the Admiralty.

I will try to inform you about these drawings periodically.

Many thanks Eugen! Have you posted a whole document?

 

 

Yes

There are scans of an interesting document from 1695 on the website of The Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences!

The document contains Dimensions of the Royal Navy Ships of War and The Contract for the build, with a detailed description of all elements of the ship's hull.

I think this information will be useful to those who are engaged in modeling ships of the late 17th century - early 18th century.

With respect,

Progress

My respect, dear colleagues!

Completing a new woodenkit MK0304 is in the process.

We received the first order of photo etching (0.2mm, 0.3mm and 0.5mm) for MK0304

👍🏻 The quality  is excellent.
