That's her: a replica of one of the ships of the first Dutch settlers, hence the Dutch name (onrust means restlessness) Jan
-
There is quite a lot of her on the net. Perhaps you'll learn something. Jan
-
Her is the next one. Not too diffcult I guess. Jan
-
She's a nice boat in the making! Those early subs have nice lines. Jan
-
Than it has to be the USS President .... Jan
-
naming them one by one: USS Constellation? Jan
-
But in both blocks, 21 as well as 24, the hole is closest to the seizing which is used to strop the block. Jan
-
Always thought that drawplates were mainly for producing treenails....

hmmm......too late again

Hi Kevin, Don't tell the others, but you' re allowed to put all your lines in one posting btw: I still didn't realize that she was French. I Always connect these stripy things to good old England Jan

Another first rate: HMS Duke of Wellington
-
Just a question: did any one already see this kit, or a (prototype) build in real? I can only find the photo-shopped version of the model. And the 'official' Billings site doesn't seem top be very much updated recently...... Jan
-
These look much better!, little remark: You should make sure you're blocks are the correct side up in the strop: the little hole should in most cases be nearest to the strop. Jan
-
Yeah, and the funnel doesn't match. I know, but you can never know, do you Jan

Russian cargo ship Sinegorsk? Jan

And the problem is: searching for canadian tanker, makes google think I'm looking for a Candian tank, and starts showing many pics of our liberators. Jan
-
No you did not, but one way or the other I have the feeling that som eof us use google pic search to help them out. As soon as someone puts up a pic of their own, it takes a bit longer She' s 1940-ies tanker, but I can't find her company... Something in me keeps calling Canada, but as you introduced her with a grin, perhaps not..... Jan

No, this model of schouw nearly never had a well, and if they had, it was located midships, were the living area is on this one. On the original wooden shouw, there was just a wooden bench at the back, no well. Nowadays, these boats are steel-hulled, and almost always motorized. The motor is in the back, just below the bench. In other ways: it is most probably the engine bay. (BB just didn't like to put a propeller on the hull, but they retained the engine bay just in case ) Jan These

The black-white-grey tunnel is a red herring I presume Apart from the funnel colours: it could be an 1940-ies exxon tanker.... Jan

Hey! spoilsport, I almost found it Now you've to post agina (or is Andy allowed to post half a ship as he named the other one correctly?) Jan

You could try the swedisch version of the WASA-Museet web-site http://www.vasamuseet.se/sv/Utstallningar/Vasamodellen/Fargschema/ and http://www.vasamuseet.se/sv/Utstallningar/Vasamodellen/Detaljbilder/ Jan

As Andy says; they all ollok black, and rather sausage-like. As a total ignoramus on subs: is there anything that makes it possible to identify the sub from this picture? Jan
-
With respect to the last shroud: For Dutch ships in the 17th century there is no evidence that eyesplices were used (actually, almost no evidence available at all) After much debate, on the Batavia -reconstruction in Lelystad they followed the practive of using a clove hitch on the last shroud, but taking the loose end backwards and make a small lashing to keep it from unravelling.

I'm affraid we need a higher resolution pic to be able to read the name on the bow. As far as I discovered she's one of four sisters. No way of checking which one. They all look very much alike Jan
