thanks everybody for the likes hi druxey thanks for the concern but no its the real copper deck plank nail from the sirius, when i first got it it was quite black but now the copper colour is starting to show through, maybe from handling

some more pictures, ready for admiralty inspection

secong jig for gratings and a sort of dovetail joint this cuts 1mm slots for a really tight joint I might bee able to use later when I get to the cabin walls and doors etc and I used for strips for gratings the comings are made from mahogany and lap jointed at the corners, rounded at the base and sloped sides and with the ladder, this still needs sanding and cleaning up
-
first jig for making stair stiles, I saw on another log using a mill with both pieces being done at the same time in a triangular shpe and I thought that would work on a table saw this is the third incarnation, the angles have to be perfect otherwise as you cut the rebates for the treads by the time you get to the last rebate they don't match, its a bit rough and ready I know but works a treat the stiles and treads are a scale 2" (1mm) thick
-
Thankyou mark very kind of you to say so and thanks everybody for the likes Not much of an update this week as I have been making some jigs/ sleds for the proxxon saw to make ladder stiles, gratings and dovetail joints, pictures to follow

The archeological wreck site is situated in the south-east of Mauritius in Old Grand Port bay approximately at latitude 20° 24′ 20″ south and longitude 57° 43′ 40″ east. The ship rests on a muddy bottom at a depth ranging from 6 to 24 m, near to a small coral shoal in the middle of a deep channel inside the fringing reef. courtesy of yann von Arnim The wreck lies on an east-west axis, slightly on her port side and is broken into three distinct parts. The bow of the ship deeply buried under mud, lies in shallow water and forms a hump on the slope of the coral shoal. This area has not yet been surveyed. The main site having a length of 27 m represents the part of the ship from the fore to the mizzen mast. The position of the mainmast is revealed by the presence of numerous cannon balls, ropes and two bronze pipes marking respectively the location of the shot locker, the cable tier and the pump housings. Besides numerous cast iron ballast and wooden casks, this area is characterized by the presence of 13 cannons, 3 carronades and a large part of the hull still intact under the mud. The stern in the east is 15 m away from the main site. A 32-pounder carronade, some isolated fragments of the hull and the keel can still be identified together with numerous cast iron fittings.

The ship past and present The frigate HMS Sirius was launched in april 1797 at Dudman’s yard on the river Thames at Deptford. Her dimensions were: length 45 m, beam 12 m, freeboard 4 m, draught 5 m and her displacement 1047 tons. Rated as a 5th class frigate she carried 274 officers and men. During her last battle she was armed with 26 cannons of 18, six carronades of 32 and two bow-chasers of 9 pounds. Her first action, under the command of Richard King, was the capture of two Dutch ships, the Furie and the Waakzaamheid, and, in 1798, a French frigate, the Oiseau, in the North Sea in 1801. With Captain William Prowse at the helm, she took part in 1802 at the blockade of Brest and, in 1805, at the Battle of Trafalgar, acting at this time with other small frigates, as the ‘eyes’ of Nelson’s fleet. From 1806 to 1808 she served in the Mediterranean and captured the French corvette Bergère. With Captain Pym as commanding Officer, she played an active role in 1809 during the British capture and occupation of the island Bourbon or Réunion. In 1810, the Sirius bore a distinguished part in the attack on Ile de la Passe and the recapture of the English Indiaman, Windham. Unfortunately, she grounded on a coral shoal during the naval battle of Grand Port and had to be sacrificed by setting her in fire on 25 August 1810.
