  1. Hello, I would like to thank for motivating words and also for the many LIKES. Currently I concern myself with the question regarding the shape of the dead-eyes. Many documents and pictures of the LA CREOLE showing dead-eyes with round shape, as can be seen here: Source: Boudriot, Monographie LA CREOLE , S.104 Source: Cutout drawing of J. Boudriot But in the official documents of 1833 the dead-eyes have an "oval" shape. For appropriate information, I would be greatly appreciated. Source:TAFEL 212 - ATLAS du GENIE MARITME A.
