    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.

    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.

    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.

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.
