SS, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

Lynn, I agree 100% with what Glen said in the above post. -

Flags denoting wind direction on models is a bit disingenuous in my view, I'm not sure I've seen an honest example and that includes my own. The wind swirls, it's not inconceivable that flags thirty feet apart would vary and that on a large ship flags at bow and stern could be flying in opposite directions. Every model I've seen with flags flying have always been inline with the keel, I've never seen flags flying perpendicular to the hull. Having said that someone will of course post photos of such examples.

This is the Brodie stove in Victory's galley. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53300399476_dbf09ec502_b.jpg

Color me confused, Jonathan. Are you searching for something that deals with a stove or with clothing and other personal items?

Jonathan, Google steamer trunk not steam trunk for better results. See the below. https://www.google.com/search?q=late+1700's+ steamer+trunk&client=safari&sca_esv=05e16821a1d41d04&rls=en&udm=2&biw=2560&bih=1237&ei=DQkbaLS5A5PWptQPtsG5qAo&ved=0ahUKEwj08-226JCNAxUTq4kEHbZgDqUQ4dUDCBE&oq=late+1700's+ steamer+trunk&gs_lp=EgNpbWciG2xhdGUgMTcwMCdzIMKgc3RlYW1lciB0cnVua0iVWVDjFVjZRHABeACQAQCYAT6gAf8BqgEBNbgBDMgBAPgBAZgCAKACAJgDAIgGAZIHAKAH4QGyBwC4BwA&sclient=img

Lula is back on the menu! I received notification this morning that I have an appointment with a vascular surgeon on Thursday June 19th at 8:00 AM and have no physical limitations. The surgeon has reviewed the test results and is okay with the appointment date. If he's not worried then why should I be? Thank you, Vossie. Thank you, John. Thank you, Glen.

I loved the stories behind the "mystery lady" it helped take my mind off my current situation. Speaking of current situation, I received the CT Scan test results today and it confirms the ultrasound results done on April 15th. I've yet to speak with the doctor's office but going over the CTS results with the aid of Google explaining medical terminology, in essence the aorta sac has enlarged above the stent and an endoleak has developed below the stent. I assume the endoleak is causing the sac enlargement. There's probably two options, surgical intervention and medication (lower blood pressure medication but I don't have high blood pressure) and monitoring. From what Google tells me surgery for men my age (78) is a bit risky. If surgery is 50/50 and monitoring and medication is 50/50, that's gonna make for a hard decision. We'll see once I talk to someone other than Mr Google. I've pretty much done everything I can do around the house in preparation for whatever comes next so yesterday I started trying to make Lula's bell frame. 1.0 didn't go well, maybe I can find time in the morning to attempt 2.0? Thank you ever so much to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. My journey is blessed because you folks are part of it. Thank you again. Keith

The engine room turned out great, LJP I like it a lot!
-
The sails turned out exceptionally well, Glen. Great visual interest.
-
The rake is much improved, Mark. I hated like heck saying something when you posted the photo of the first mast rake but after seeing the latest results I'm glad I did. 👍
-
Everything seems expensive to me these days but there's a lot there IMHO. Thank you, Ferrus. The CT Scan went okay but have not received the test results, hopefully I'll get those today.

It gets better and better with each new post, mcb. It's a pleasure watching Blairstown come to life. 👍

Jacques, please remember to wear eye protection when using the cutting wheels as they break apart pretty easy and at high speed their flight path seems to be directed straight at the user.

Eric, the scene is really starting to come to life. I'm truly enjoying watching your work.

Glen, I hadn't either till I Googled Japanese evil spirts. I thought you might have a surprise hiding in the weeds.

Man that's nice looking, Glen. Will a Yokai be lurking in the path of the Kentoshi?

Mike, no doubt the photo is in fact a car ferry. I used Lula the car ferry as inspiration to create Lula the tender/supply boat. Please see the first two photos in post #503, page #17, thank you.

Tom, the car is a Ford Model A produced from 1927 thru 1931. I wish she had belonged in the pilothouse because that's such a great story if she had in fact been the captain/pilot/owner. When I think of the hard nosed gals from that era I think of the women aviators, one in particular, "Pancho" Barnes for whom I have the greatest admiration. From Google AI The question of women wearing pants has a rich history, evolving from being socially unacceptable to mainstream fashion. The idea of women wearing pants was initially met with resistance, but gradually gained acceptance due to social and cultural shifts, particularly during wartime and the women's liberation movement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trousers_as_women's_clothing

While sitting at my worktable this morning, reflecting and looking at a print of the photo below I had a thought...... I've always wondered about the woman sitting on the stairway to the pilothouse, who was she? She sits apart and above the men on deck. It has always seemed a bit odd that a woman would be part of the scene unless she was the captain/pilot/owner's wife whose name was Lula. But, putting aside my male prejudiced, could she have been the captain/pilot/owner who named the ferry after herself? The only reason I don't think that's the case is because of her skirt and shoes, not your typical work attire but then.....it makes a great story and I wish that were the truth of it. Who were you mystery lady?
