Kind of norwegian Fjord in the background, or is it just aussi-land? Jan

Copied from the 'monumentenarchief' Beschrijving Standbeeld van Michiel de Ruyter met twee bronzen scheepskanonnen Standbeeld van Michiel Adriaanszoon de Ruyter. (1841) door L. Royer. Hierbij opgesteld twee bronzen scheepskanonnen, gegoten respectievelijk 1617 en 1622. (which states that the guns next to Statue of De Ruyter are original ones, cast in 1617 and 1622, cast in bronze) The others are dating back to the French time I guess. (at least, they look very much like the French guns in fortresses of Den Helder and Texel. (shorter guns, thicker walls, and no decorations at all.) Jan

I think there was something names after a sint or so. Can't trace him back now..... problem is: I guess we can find it on a russian wiki-site, but I can't read those cirilic characters. Jan

Other question: I see that you rig the tackle of the backstay startting from the upper block, resulting in the running end going upwards were you belay it tot the backstay. Istn't that a bid uneasy when using: it would seem to me that strarting from the lower block results in a tackle for whcih the runnin gpart goes downward and can be secured at deck level of on the lower block.... (or isn't it the backstay tackle?) Jan

One question: will you be able to recreate these curvatures with the real wales? Jan
