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 creationShippediA 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.

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.

Cannon tackles
Guns placed on guns carriages were equipped with tacks enabling them to
go back for loading - train tackles, and return to the position for a shot –gun tackles.
The breeching it was thin rope seized to the cascabel or to the gun carriage.
Purpose of the breeching was to absorb the recoil of the gun when it was fired.
Pivot guns was equipped with tackles for change it position.

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

Here's an image of a gun port and cover from the full size Vasa, showing the ropes that were used to open and close the gun port cover. There's a small ring attached to each side of the gun port cover, with a separate rope tied to each ring. The upper rope is under tension because it is holding the gun port cover open. The lower rope is used to pull the cover into its fully closed position, and then tie it off under tension so the cover remains closed in bad weather. I am thinking of using some thin copper wire to make the rings ... will the work on modifying the "Billing" gun ports ever finish?
Can anyone tell me what the "step" with a hole in the middle is, the piece highlighted in red?
Hi Rob,
In my opinion this is scupper from middle deck on which they are installed pumps.

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.

Tadeusz:
What do you use to prtect your lathe from rust, and do you lubricate the sliding surfaces, if so with what?
I use WD40 and I wipe excess with a paper towel.For gear I use lubricant.

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

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.

Hi,
I use different ways for simulate caulking on the deck it depend of model scale.
Scale 1:100 or more I simple draw caulking lines with black fine liner.S/S Savannach under construction.
Scale 1:75 and around I am coloring the edges of veneer strips for deck planking with black permanent marker.
Friesland under construction.
Scale 1:48 and less I made caulking as black thread glued between deck planks.Golden Yacht.

Standing rigging Part 1
Channels and chain plates
Channels was installed on ships from the end of 15th century up to half of the 19th century.
It was the place of securing the lower ends of the shrouds and sometimes the backstays.
The lower deadeyes were attached to the hull by iron chains or rods called chain plate.
