No I used to work in Utrecht, and from work to home I just passed this ship every day (at least, in the winter months). ANd last year a member on MSW was working on a paper version of the ship, and asked for a couple of pics, mainly of the details of the ship (especially because the scrollwork as build differs from the scrollwork as drawn in the plans) So I took my canmera to my work, and made a couple pf shots. And as there was someone on deck, I asked for a small tour around the ship. Jan

Come on guys! It's not that difficult. This pic is all over the (dutch shiplovers) internet. (I have to admit, I halved it to prevent easy recognition ) Jan

This is going to be very interesting. It is also stronger as the wood grain is running in the right direction. Utrecht has frames that are almost square, so sawing them in one piece will seriously lower their strenght, as at least one parft of the frame is cross-grained. Are you also adding the frame pieces that are in the 'real ship' to attacht the futtocks to the floor-parts of the frame? More pics of the build on http://veilinghaven.statenjacht.nl/het_schip/foto.htm (don't change the language to english, or you will loose all the interesting pictures ) And just to show you my pics of the actual replica: https://picasaweb.google.com/101597346346552139735/UtrechtsStatenjacht?authuser=0&feat=directlink Jan

WIki says that Mataafa was raised, refitted and was under steam untill 1965 I'll post a new one in a few minutes. Jan

Blue or green are the most likely colours. Black and grey were not used. Merchant ships were just painted dark brown, the admirality ships were probably green or blue. Problem is: no written records left, and paintings are not too reliable to take colour samples from.... The model in Lelystad by Tomesen (Artitec) is probably the most documented. That one is in green. Jan

After scanning lots of "SS Freighters great lakes", I came accros a certain Daniel Morell, which broke up in 1966, which is indeed not as far back as 1965 Jan

Edmund, Edward, sounds all the same to me Yeah, I mean the other Fitzgerald, ofcourse. Jan

Ofcourse, we would have been disappointed in your abilities if it did NOT fit the bore. Jan

Although searching along those lines, inevitable ends up at Edmundward Fitzgerald.....

I guess Andy did a search for some obscure laker, going down in a freak gale, leaving only one fuzzy picture of her in some obscure book.... Jan

But the spanish alsedo-class (early twenites) has 4 funnels, and not 2 The other class is not early twenties, but does look very, very much like yours. (or is 1925 still early, in your definition?) Jan
