druxey, probably smaller than you're thinking but all(?) the frame drawings I've seen for revenue cutters and similar sized vessels (mostly 1800s) carry text such as "The timbers are to have square heads and heels coaked together as represented at 'A'; but where a square head and heel cannot be formed they are to be scarfed as represented at 'B'." None show chocked joints. NB: Coaked - joined with a round or square dowel.

Don, another thing to note is the the 'frame pair' at station 0 was often a triple or single frame not a pair. This reversed the way the frames in the pairs were arranged so that the same half was always closest to station 0. Speedy (cross piece of each pair closest to station 0): Aquilon (NON cross piece of each pair closest to station 0):

These days it might be closer to the truth to say a boat can be transported by road while a ship can't.

Body plan line
iMustBeCrazy replied to Don Case's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I agree. The green rectangles show the relationship to each end of the transom. The blue one demonstrates the relationship of a station line/waterline intersection. -
Sloping deck

Don, it seems to start at the mast, so about 16'. This might make it clearer. -
In this case, yes. We have about 10 types of Kingfisher, some fish, some don't. I can only assume that sometime in the past either the fish supply dried up or there was too much competition and these were forced to adapt. They still seem to prefer being around water and the bathe quite often but they hunt by quietly flying between tree branches pausing for quite a while each time surveying the ground for a meal before quietly moving on again. This is very much how a Kookaburra hunts too.

Here's a Juvenile Sacred Kingfisher. Their diet is mostly lizards and insects.

Oops, got it now. Juvenile Little Eagle.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
