michaelpsutton2 got a reaction from Keith Black in Tiny Spar on 17th Century English Yacht
I have seen a number mostly dutch vessels with these. It obviously spreads the strain across a broader area at the head of the sail. A small spar like that can be found on the clue of some Grand Banks fishing schooners on foresails that were sometimes called jumbos. The A J Meerwald pictured here has a club footed jumbo

michaelpsutton2 got a reaction from Canute in USS Iowa BB-61: Anybody knows the structure midship?
Near as I can see they are similar to the practice loader for the 5" gun on the USS Kidd here in Baton Rouge

michaelpsutton2 got a reaction from blackjoke in Cruizer-class Brig-Sloops of the Royal Navy
If you look at the plans for the Larne of 1814 or the Levant of 1713 the arrangement of the planks is very close to that on the Cruizer models. They are of course larger 20 gun, ship rigged sloops. I certainly am not saying they are in anyway connected just visually similar and serve to illustrate what the Cruizer plans would look like if they matched the models

michaelpsutton2 got a reaction from thibaultron in yellow ochre paint
At what point did the Royal Navy begin to paint the sides with yellow ochre as opposed to the "paid" pitch and varnish? I realize there was an overlap.

michaelpsutton2 got a reaction from Mark P in The Gale 1752
That painting looks amazingly like the Endeavour ex Earl of Pembroke 1764 of Cap'n Cook fame. Right down to the 3 ports in her side, shroud arrangement and knee gammon head. Rig generally matches Endeavor as well. Endeavor was smaller 97 x 29 x 11. The ship shownin your painting could only have mounted a few light caliber guns at most, certqinly not 18. I would be careful relying on that pic being accurate.

Thanks, Michael.
I have no idea how much research the artist did before he created the painting.
Will do some more digging.
