woodrat got a reaction from Archi in Venetian Carrack or Cocha by woodrat - FINISHED - 1/64
the three iron rings were I believe used for shipping the rudder and afterwards to attach rudder preventers
A preventer is rigged
A second preventer is led into the stern

Thanks for the links. The Lomellina capstan is not sufficiently different to my capstan which greatly resembles the capstan found and reconstructed on the Red Bay Basque whaling ship of 1565.
So I think I will leave the capstan as is. Maybe redo the bars.

This is my concept of the capstan as it might have appeared. It is based somewhat on the capstan of the Wasa. The rocker pawl is a not unreasonable device for the period. The capstan will be used to assist raising the yard.
this painting by Botticelli shows the capstan eccentrically placed in the waist

Another thought. Perhaps the ship in drydock is in the process of being planked and the strakes between the main wales are not yet in place. The square blocks could be the underlying frames. :mellow: Dick
The rudder is made of several pieces with wooden battens and metal straps reinforcing. Note the curve of the tiller.

Having taken off the lines the solid half-hull was cut down to main deck level. The side timbers are seen.
main wales are seen bracketting the deck beams transom framing is seen
The hull was then planked. Note the projectiing deck beams at forward half of main deck and hold
The main deck was planked
The supporting structure of the forecastle was guessed at and the clinker planking below the forecastle was installed
the transversal bitt was installed
the horizontal clinker planking was installed to match the original drawing
The view from the other side

here are some pics of the stern gallery. I have left some blinds down and some up (coloured blue).

With this type of reconstruction, it is inevitable that future discoveries will make mine obsolete. Maybe it already is. But it's all about the journey, not the destination.

Thanks for the links. The Lomellina capstan is not sufficiently different to my capstan which greatly resembles the capstan found and reconstructed on the Red Bay Basque whaling ship of 1565.
So I think I will leave the capstan as is. Maybe redo the bars.
