  2. Dear colleagues, Thank you for your kind words about my work, but my stock images on ships and their construction is limited and not very long runs out. I had a dream… Because I see that collect photographic information on this subject can be interesting and useful to propose joint creation ShippediA The Free Encyclopedia period ships and their construction Many of us live near where the maritime museums and museum ships, and can take pictures of interesting passages in their construction and equipment, maybe they want to share them with our community. What do you think about this proposal. Tadeusz
  3. Pumps Pumps are very important ship equipment and was used for emergency ship dewatering as also for deck washing and fresh water pumping in to the galley. Emergency pumps was located on the deck above waterline with suction from ship bottom near keelson and discharge to the pumpdale scuppers or directly to the deck. Elm tree pump is oldest type of ship pumps. Vasa - reconstruction Batavia Asterdam Victory Chain pump has bigger capacity and was introduced in British Navy in beginning of 18th century. Not was used in the Continental fleets.

  5. Rope belaying Small size ropes are belayed with belaying pins, which are plugged into pin rails. Pin rails can be situated on bulwarks on the ship side or made as the fife rails around mast. Belaying pins are made of wood or metal. On the ship is used one only diameter of pins with diameter is of thickest rope used in rigging. Excess of belayed rope is coiled and hanged on the pin. Ropes with bigger diameter are belayed on cleats, kevels, bollards or riding bitts Wissemara. Gotheborg. The ship is fully rigged and seaworthy. Jylland.

  9. Running rigging Wire ropes in running rigging. Wire ropesi in running rigging was used on beginning of 20th century. In such period was constructed the last cargo sailing ships famous Windjammers. Wire ropes was used as halyards, yard lifts and brass. For their winding serve special winches with hand power or even steam power. Wire ropes was also used for “standing" parts of running rigging e.g. pendants.

  16. Hi Rick, The shrouds was installed as pair of ropes. Number of pairs of the shrouds depend of period and vessel size as also of vessel origin. The number of pairs of the shrouds increased over the years from one to three pairs in the 14th century to 12 and more in the 15th and 16th centuries. On some ships were installed even 18-20 pair of the shrouds. At the beginning of the 17th century number of pairs want began to be reduced and for the largest ships amounted to 9-11 on main mast, 8-18 on foremast and 2-4 on mizzen. See: "Historic Ship Models" by Wolfram zu Mondfeld Tadeusz
  17. Stays Hemp ropes. In period of use hemp ropes main stay was the thickest rope in ship standing rigging. Formula gave by Wolfram zu Mondfeld in “ Historic Ship Models” says: For modelers purpose diameter of main stay is determined as 0,166 of the diameter of the main mast at the deck. Diameters of other ropes in standing and running rigging are proportionately smaller. Batavia. Main stay lanyard and collar. Batavia. Main stay collar. Batavia. Fore stay lanyard. Gotheborg.
