several references show the ratline started and ended with an eyesplice seized with several turns to the first and last shroud.

Michael,
Am very interested in the USS Pennsylvania. Could you provide the source for those plans you mentioned?

Topsail schooner sail plans and rigging
dak4482 replied to Dr PR's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Hi all just to add another source, Tryckare's "Lore of Ships" has pages and pages of drawings of these types of sail layouts along with many other examples from Chinese junks all the way to six-masted barkentines. Dr PR, Your explanations give a much greater understanding of many of those those variations and is very much appreciated. Dan- 85 replies

HMCSS Victoria 1855 by BANYAN - 1:72
dak4482 replied to BANYAN's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Hello all. I see mentioned references to rigging warrant and the contract for the Victoria. Is there a source we can access for these documents. I havent read thru all 22 pages of this discussion yet so I apologize if this has been answered already. Dan dak4482@comcast.net- 993 replies

Ed, No problem. I got the book also and if you ordered the one with the red cover it will definitely have the plates. Dan dak4482@comcast.net

Ed, Are you still interested in the plates from Fincham's work? I have the scans from the third edition of 1854. They are not the best but are clear enough to read and are on 8 1/2 by 14 inch size. I copied the whole book MANY years ago from a copy of the Conway Maritime Print at Ohio State U. I can scan to pdf and then send them to you. I think there are about 24 pages. Several of them look to be straight from Steel's mast plates but I'm not sure as I haven't put them side by side. Also from what I can tell, The Conway Maritime book print from 1982 is the only one that has the plates included. (The book with the red cover). Abebooks has several copies for sale. My scanner combined them into one pdf document so the file is rather big at 50 MEG. WETransfer would be able to handle that if you can. Let me know. Dan dak4482@comcast.net

Sorry, Couldnt figure out how to delete Lever's diagram from the second post.

Alan, Also see Bushell's "The Rigger's Guide" He has several pages of articles on the flying jib boom and its rigging: Just a sample:
-
Alan, Lever's Sheet Anchor shows a good drawing of a Flying jib boom and its associated "flying jib martingale guy" in the appendix on page 114-115. He states: "The Flying Jib Martingale Guy leads thru a thimble in the strap on the bowsprit, and thru the lower sheave hole , reeves thru a block at the end of the FLYING JIB-BOOM, and thru the hole. The same operation takes place on the other leg of the Dolphin striker." Not sure of the time period here, Dan 2020-08-21_15-57-38.pdf

Hi all, a question for the group- Is anyone aware of any 3D photos, sketches, etc of MADE masts for the individual pieces of the mast (spindles, fishes, etc) where there could have been as many as 16 individual pieces ((according to Seppings). I have Steel, Fincham and Crothers' publications as references. Anyone aware of any others with GOOD diagrams or 3-D views. I just cant get my head around the 2d diagrams of the pieces with all the scarfs, cutouts, etc in them. Don't need help with the fittings yet, just the individual pieces of the mast itself. Has anyone ever done a DETAILED model of a made mast. I would also be interested in any videos of the same such as on youtube, etc but I havent been able to locate any for multi-piece made masts. Any help is appreciated. Dan
