Jim Lad got a reaction from shipman in Herzogin Cecilie 1902 by Jim Lad - Four Masted Barque
Just a small update. I've now replaced the incorrect sections of forecastle rail with the more appropriate chain and have left the removable section on the port side lying on the deck in preparation for the supposed recovery of the port anchor. I've also been doing some repair work on the well deck that is not readily visible.

Nice looking bottle screws! How are you going to prevent the open lower eye from opening under the strain when you tighten up the shrouds?

It's always a good project to build a model of a favourite ship - someday I may even build a model of my all-time favourite ship, the 'Pilar Regidor', but that would be a pretty big model!
Good to see that you've decided to build her as you remember her on your epic voyage. You should find quite a lot of photos to support your memory of what the ship looked like at that time.

And not quite big enough to get into and sail it.

Jim Lad got a reaction from thibaultron in Oyster smack nets
perhaps very fine wire mesh like the filters found in some garden spray pumps?

Nothing like building a model that you can barely lift!

Jim Lad got a reaction from SiriusVoyager in What level of finishing are we looking for?
Even new, A lobster smack wouldn't have looked too flash. A quote from Ted Frost's "From Tree to Sea", his very detailed book of the building of a wooden drifter on the east coast of England before the First World War - "These were pretty rough, as they were all drifter's fittings". In other words, it's a work boat, not a yacht!

Good to see that your 'great leap forward' went better than Mao's! She looks really good right side up, Mark.
