So I do t know how I’m going to pull it off yet, but I’ve bought quite a few sets of these 1/700 blocks for the rigging.
I lived in Timor for 6 months in 2001/02, some of it would not have changed since the 1800’s.

It appears he was paroled as soon as he got here to work as a book keeper so I reckon he volunteered

I’m thinking your big M will never be finished. I’m planning on 6 months for Seydlitz, should take me into our winter and rugby season.

It’s a nice little kit that, I’m thinking of a torpedo boat after our next build.

One of my ancestors was transported to Australia for Bigamy, I reckon he would have been relieved.

Yes, they could drag anchor in a current or turning of the tide. There is reference to the ship going into action with the nets down for some reason, but could only make 6 knots.

My dreadnoughts rigging was complex but I had reference to the AOTS, so I have to figure it out. I expect the nets were pulled out via the capstans using these lines forward. The references say the nets were dropped straight off the shelves into the water an unfurled, then pulled out. The reverse order for retrieving, but she could run at about 6kts if deployed but used a prodigious amount of coal. The brailing davits were used to roll them back up like a vanitian blind, either using the coaling winches or the capstans.
The booms themselves have two blocks, with a line that runs down the side of the ship from the deck, to the first block near the hull, to the end of he boom and then the line runs don to the base of the net. I expect this is to keep the net taught (ie, heading straight down).
If I'm wrong I'm very happy to be corrected, there is so little reference to this, a google search uses a photo of my dreadnought to explain the history of them (I have no idea who wrote it).
