  1. It occurred to me today that my library includes a copy of Brian Lavery's Anatomy of the Ship series volume on the Susan Constant. This ship was built a half-century after Mary Rose, but the mast joins in Lavery's drawings are similar to what's visible in the Anthony Roll drawings of Mary Rose as well as in other contemporary drawings of carracks.
  2. Many thanks! The book I mentioned is from the Anatomy of the Ship series. The edition I have includes photos of the restored top and parrel truck. A line drawing (plan view) of the top shows a rectangular opening for the step of the topmast, but that's about the only clue provided; none of the drawings show, for example, the height of the overlap between the main mast and main topmast, or any clues regarding the dimensions or location of the step cap. I certainly appreciate mtaylor's advice and Louie's comments and links. Onward and upward.
  3. Just purchased a copy of Douglas McElvogue's Tudor Warship Mary Rose. I'm thinking about designing a scratchbuilt model of the ship, but information on the details of the upper masts is necessarily incomplete owing to the disintegration of these portions of the mastings in the real ship. There are useful drawings of the mast platform structures, along with partially speculative diagrams of the masts themselves, but there are no details about how the main, foremast, mizzen, and the respective top- or topgallant masts were joined, stepped, and capped. Been googling all morning, but cannot find even generic diagrams of these assemblies for carrack masts. Does anyone out there have a source of information on this? Thank you in advance.
