    Do the inventory lists say anything about what type of guns in the bow fort were? In many contemporary images of carracks, the gun barrels look as if they could be rotating bases, i.e. cannons mounted in fork mounts. such would allow downward shots. I also think that the longbow was the far more effective weapon in this era, and an elevated shooting position was an advantage. Should boarding the enemy over the shrouds be reconsidered instead of jumping into the depths? ...but I'm not a warrior.

    Thank you very much, but now that I know the password again, a new one is actually no longer necessary. Best regards Alvb

    The large font appears automatically when inserting. I would change it, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet. why it happened now...I have no idea. Alvb

    oh, I'm very sorry if I gave you the impression of being aggressive, hurtful or unkind. That was never my intention. If I appeared like that, I sincerely apologize. I definitely tried to follow James approach to solving the problem, but in everything I did I came to dead ends. It always ends with messages like: This email address or this display name is already being used by another user. Please try again. Or: if we can assign your address, you will receive an email to reset your password. Only no email followed. I'm sorry and I ask you to accept my apology. Alvb

    I remembered the password. But I have to inform you that I have tried the usual "forgotten password" method several times in the past without success. I suspect that if I hadn't remembered, I would never have come in here again.

    Guys, I forgot my password but I want to log in with my new phone. Unfortunately I don't receive any email after I click on "Forgot password". What could be the reason? Please help. Thanks 🙂

    @Apxeos@Apxeos. I'll blow away some dust. Are there any plan drawings for your design? greeting Bela

    Are battens placed over all seams?

    I like the somewhat irregular, not absolutely accurate. It is alive and natural. There is the craft that was shipbuilding again. Not the engineering of today My respect

    Looking at Figures 1 and 10 in Post #48 and assuming that baker's wide planks are correctly routed, I don't think that too narrow plank ends at the bow should be avoided here. Would planks that end half as wide really be narrower than the ones underneath?
  30. Alvb
    I think that back then all the planks were unique. Adapted to the situation and determined by the existing timber. So there is no particular need to attach an oversized plank at this point t. It just happened that way during the construction process. Alvb

    What can I imagine under a joggle plank?
  32. Alvb
    Can you give me the dimensions of the mainsail so I can get an idea. Alvb
  33. Alvb
    What exactly is your question for the halyards? Alvb
  34. Alvb
    For this Era I would assume triangular or pear shaped deadeyes. Alvb

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.
