Hi Jake, I belive that belaying pins were not use for a hundred years. After the Mayflower, but I would ask @allanyed he my go to guy when I need to know anything, he has the answers lol.

Hi Jake, I wonder the same thing when I was building my Mayflower, by Amati. All I found out was they used chamber pots on the bow grating. I guess they sat anywhere from the ladder to the door, just guessing lol Now I don't have to ask Grandpa Phil what is "seats of ease" . Hope it helps .

I got to see the SS Klondike back in 1978. I flew to Inuvik from Edmonton, then after a day there I took a bush plane to Eagle Plains to paint a motel there. We got caught up with the drywallers so they sent my boss and I to White Horse to get supplies. So we took a 1/2 ton truck down the Demster HWY to White Horse, they put four spare tires in the back of the truck and said good luck hope you make it lol. We had 3 flats on the way there and two on the way back, I was told it was because of the permafrost the road was build and it cracks along the road not across it . Well in White Horse we walk around the SS Klondike What a trip I still rember it clearly well most of it lol but I do rember the river boat lol 😆 😜

Thanks so much Tom. The family is doing great we are all smiling today. No pest movement for two days.😁. They were Norway rats. It will take a couple of months to clean up, disinfect everything and repair the walls and ceiling. Enjoy following along your attention to detail is amazing great work. The Pegasus will have to wait a few months but I will be back

Abandon Shipyard !!! Had to move all my builds upstairs. Due to pests moving into the shipyard I have to shut it down, for several months. The family has been sick, but we are feeling better all around. So I settled in on making the masts, and heard some scratching from the ceiling. Yep , pests. Darn and I wanted to try and get my Pegasus done by the end of May. I was shooting for the end of May because that will be Three years that I have been a member of NRG and MSW. I have been having the time of my life. It is just so much fun. I can hardly wait to get better at this. I have learnt so much. At least I will be able to follow along with logs, it will give me time to catch up on some reading lol. The first Mate says to picture the enemy like this . But it's not working , I am so depressed about not building models, if I did not have so much to do I would go crazy lol. Talk to you all when I can , Sea ya.

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.
