Harriet McGregor by Boccherini

Yes, remember the quadrantal correctors are soft iron, so they'll need painting, Grant. Red and green was a traditional colour scheme for them right up into the late 20th century! John -
We have a rather nice 1:1 scale model of her here at the museum, mate! John

It's simply a skylight for the cabin, Grant. John -
For those outside the United States, Harriet Lane was also the slang name for tinned preserved meat; named after an unfortunate young woman who was murdered by her lover in London in 1874 and whose body was later dismembered in attempt to dispose of it! John

Great to hear that you feel well enough to get back into the workshop, Håkan. That deck framing really looks very nice, indeed. John

Looks like you've made a very nice job of that repair, Lyle. John

Grant, it's difficult to be sure, but it looks like a simple round or square bar section. remember it's only taking compression forces as it 'spreads' the shrouds. John

Grant, this is a much-zoomed detail of the mizzen mast. The spreader appears to be on a collar around the mast and to be centred on the mast. If you save the image and then open it, right click and hit 'zoom to fit', you should get a reasonably clear full screen size image to study. John

This photograph of 'Harriet McGregor' alongside at Hobart clearly shows a spreader with a single topmast shroud. John

You'll be in even more pain if your wife finds out you're interested in the cute nurses!!! Sorry about the pain, but good to hear your surgery went well. John

Hello Michael, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John -
I must say that I'm personally a great fan of cowl ventilators, but I can see how they hardly add to the impression of a sleek and fast yacht. If she raced with the vent trunks capped, then that's a valid way of presenting the model, however as Tom suggests, if you want to be truly accurate, you will have to display her racing if the vents are capped.
