    Mea culpa -my ancient brain still struggles with all the changes at the top in the war of the roses😀But as you say the Mary Rose was a new start point in ship building but also the end of a tradional one extending back 100 years and more.  It is pretty clear that the forecastle remains have long since rotted so the archeology is never going to appear. . The logic for choosing a small forecastle is for me very shaky

    Just come to this but I do remember the Timewatch excavation of Henry VI “Grace a Dieu”. They established that the forecastle height was some 68 feet above waterline.  These boats were literally floating castles with archers raining down a hail of arrows on the opposing vessels.  Mary Rose was a first as a carvel built ship that then permits properly closable cannon ports as opposed to the triple clinker build of Henry VI ship.  I too believe most current models are too low at the forecastle and believe a figure around 50 feet would be more correct

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.
