  1. The rear castle.

     

    Not much is left of the original. So from here on, most becomes guesswork. The frames of sections 6,8,10 and the stern are used as a basis

    The first test isn't too bad.

    The stern in the drawing has an unnatural bend (personal opinion). That's why I'm going to deviate a bit towards the outside.

    The first 4 frames have been placed. They are still too high and probably too thick. But these 4 must be long and sturdy enough as a basis for the rest
    The intention now is to first provide more frames on this side of the model.

    Some of them look like cartoons of what the actual vessels probably looked like -  I am thinking Baker's Mayflower as an example.   All are just a modern author's guess -

    I never built a Mayflower....

     It is certainly not the perfect model, but if this is a cartoon, thanks

    Wooden ships “work.”  As the ship travels through waves, the uneven buoyancy causes the hull to flex.  With conventionally framed construction the frames made no contribution to to the longitudinal strength of the hull.  In the Nineteenth Century the use of diagonal iron strapping was an attempt to add longitudinal strength to large hills but of course this was three hundred years or so prior to Mary Rose.

     

    As ships aged these longitudinal bending stresses affected planking fasteners allowing individual planks to slide relative to each other, working the caulking loose.  The repair would have been to caulk the seam and to nail the batten atop.  This problem existed to some degree into modern times until advanced adhesives allowed monocoque construction of wooden hulls.

    Thanks Roger.

    Indeed.

    The Mary Rose builders (rebuilders) were also working on this problem
