Sorry, You're right: checked it in Witsen, and the triangle part should indeed be on the outside of the stem. Jan
-
Hi Drazen, Are you sure about the stempost? (I'm not sure about the triangle part on the lower end of it.) Jan

uhhhhmmmmm.... You're not applying your own standards to the rest of the world, aren't you? But, Piet should be able to live up against these standards. Real life ammunition would be even better. (btw what kind of ammo was used in these guns?) Jan

beam engine paddle steamer. My first idea is great lakes. Hoever, the hull itself is not so 'lake-like' Jan

It's not a red herring.... This former beauty is all over the web. She's in a very sorry state right now, I believe. Jan

Strugling, can't find any refernce in the pic: how large (or should I say: tiny) is that wonderfull bell? Jan

James Lees states that these breast stays were rather uncommon, but in their lay-out do look like 'normal' back stacks. (unfortunatedly, he does not give a picture to show the exact lay-out. ) Jan

Wow, I didn't expect to see this after seeing that badly warped hull in your first picture..... Jan
-

Hi Drazen, You should have a look at the famous book by Witsen: plate XXXV: there he shows that the main capstan is resting on a heave beam one deck below (the visser). The part which you see does not bear the full weight of the capstan. Witsen is not very clear in showing the construction of this visible part. The drawing suggest lengthwise (like in Wasa). Hoving follows that in his reconstruction of the Pinace. Also: picture 34 in the book by Winter: lengthsie, not resting on the schaarstooken, but on the deckbeams (and check Winters lengthwise cross section drawing: the main capstan (which is actuaal one deck lower than in ZP) has its visser restng on the keel, the forward capstan has it as a large piece of wood, attached under the deckbeams of the main deck.

Your 'plastic flowerpot' very well deserves being there. Thanks for the pictures. I guess that being there was a day well spent. Jan
-
Hi Drazen, What part exactly is it you need a picture of? Jan
-
PS far more than just the funnel logo was repainted Actually, her whole hull was repainted for this picture. Jan
-
Mexican hot & spicey that is for sure. I think you nailed her Eamonn! Jan
-
I can't find anything looking like that funnel-logo..... (or did you copy-past your own into that pic?) Jan
-
Using those words as search terms, I get mainly ugly cars..... Jan
-
ft, 8inch Actually, it is in Andy's post, just above the first pic. 4 ft, 8 inch (or did Andy edit it in afterwards, just to suggest you're blind? ) Jan
-
Just a question: did this lantern came 'out of the box'? Or was there a destrcution I happended to miss? Jan
-
Nice sub! Perhaps even worth two Leffe's or perhaps Sjors can arrange a "jonkie" for you.... Jan
-
Did well?? you think so? You even can't get the doors of that cabinet open I think he made it a rush-job Jan
-
With respect to the bookshops in both the Rijks and the Maritime: don't hope for too much if I were you. (I went there and was a bit disappointed) The Maritime has a wonderfull library (free entry), but the bookshops in both museums tend to focus on 'tourists' mainly, not on interested geeks like us....
