Tops

The construction of platforms fitted on mast tops were changed during the centuries from „baskets” or round platforms with high guard rails up

to the end of 17^th century. 

In 19^th century tops was made as flat platforms supported on crosstrees.

Tops was used as access to topmast sails as also battle station for archers,

gun shooters or even small cannons.

Hi,

I soak planks in boiling water for few minutes then place on bending jig and allow to dry.

Tadeusz

Hi,

Save money.

The best jig for plank bending is self made I use similar for this from post #25
 http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/11432-nuestra-senora-de-la-conception-y-de-las-animas-by-nmbrook-172-dusek-ship-kits/page-2 
 In my is possible bending few planks the same time. 
 After steaming or simple boiling in waterplanks are placed on jig and allowed to dry.

Hi,

Masts.

Masts on boats and small ships was made from single timber (pine or spruce).

On larger vessels masts was assembled from few timbers for

obtain required diameter as also reinforced by external woods

named fish.

The fish was installed on front or/and on sides of masts .

All this structure was hold together with rope wooldings or later with iron hoops.

Hi,

Construction of a replica of the 17th century ship De 7 Provincien  has a long history.

Works started in 1995 in Batavia Werf in Lelystad but due to severe technical problems that work was completely wrecked.

In 2008 again started the construction of the ship but in 2014 work stopped because to lack of funding.

Hi,

I collect photos concerning hull structure and construction from presently

Hi,

HMS Victory pivot gun.

Tadeusz

Nice job , congratulations.

Tadeusz

Hi,

There is simple explanation of this phenomena.

In many fleets of war there is a tradition of naming new ships names of their predecessors, so was the instance with Admiral Nelson's HMS Victory 1765.

She was the fifth in the history RN ship named "Victory", the former sank in 1744.

Tadeusz

Hi,

Other known wrecks of Swedish  ships.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_warship_Mars

Mars, also known as Makalös ("peerless; astounding") was a Swedish warship that was built between 1563 and 1564. It was the leading ship of king Eric XIV of Sweden's fleet, and at 48 meters[1] and equipped with 107 guns it was one of the largest warships of the time, even larger than the famous Swedish ship Vasa. In 1564, during the Northern Seven Years' War, the ship caught fire and exploded during the first battle of Öland in the Baltic Sea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronan_(ship)

Kronan, also called Stora Kronan,[1] was a Swedish warship that served as the flagship of the Swedish navy in the Baltic Sea in the 1670s. When built, she was one of the largest seagoing vessels in the world. The construction of Kronan lasted from 1668 to 1672 and was delayed by difficulties with financing and conflicts between the shipwright Francis Sheldon and the Swedish admiralty. After four years of service, the ship foundered in rough weather at the Battle of Öland on 1 June 1676: while making a sharp turn under too much sail she capsized, and the gunpowder magazine ignited and blew off most of the bow structure. Kronan sank quickly, taking about 800 men and more than 100 guns with her, along with valuable military equipment, weapons, personal items and large quantities of silver and gold coins.

Hi,

In fact wreck of Solen was discovered in 1969.

http://www.wreck-diving.pl/Gulf_Wrecks/strony/Solen_16m.html

Solen is seventeenth century wooden Swedish warship - galleon, built for the Royal Swedish Navy. Solen was bought by the Swedes in the Netherlands, then rebuilt into a warship and armed in Alvsborgu.

During the Polish-Swedish war Solen attending in Swedish forces blocking the Gulf of Gdansk. The captain of the ship was Alexander Foratt. Solen also participated in the Battle of Oliwa in 28 November 1627. Then the ship was mistakenly taken for the flagship and it was attacked by the Polish smaller galleon Wodnik. During the unarmed combat and the shelling of small arms, among others died Captain Foratt. When the battle taken unexpected turn for the Swedes, the Swedish skipper blew up Solen. The ship sunk, but the 46 crew members survived.

The history of finding the wreck:

In 20 October 1969, while work on the construction of the North Port of Gdansk, workers found a sailing ship wreck, which was identified with high probability as the "Solen" and marked as W-6. The part of the groundswell survived, but it is devoid of the bow. The wreck lay at a depth of 16 meters, at distance of 3 nautical miles on northeast of the entrance to the port of Gdansk, in position 54°28' north latitude and 18°42' east longitude. During the pioneering in Poland exploration work, Solen was taken up by the Central Maritime Museum in Gdansk.

In 1969 the eleven cannon barrels was brought out from the wreck, from which eight were cast in Sweden (with the Waza’s coat of arms), two were Polish and one Russian. Over the next year more than 6 000 items were recovered. Divers found nine cannons, cannonballs, ceramics, coins and many others utilitarian things. Because the wreck lay at the entrance to the port, on 10 September 1980 Solen was moved to another location in the region of Gdynia Orłowo. Exhibits taken from the Solen are in the Central Maritime Museum in Gdansk.

Hi,

Interesting approach to the subject but ship model in Vasa museum looks a bit different.

Tadeusz

Hi,

Before the invention of the steering wheel.

Steering wheel was introduced on ships in beginning of 18^th century.

Earlier for steering was used tiller with whipstaff.

Hi,

This element of ship structure it is keel, bulkheads are installed traversal in notches.

Straighten of keel is essential for hull shape of model.

How to reach it is explained here :

Hi,

Hi,

I use thermal transfer method for applying decoration on the sails.
Sails should be sewn also within the decoration area.

Tadeusz

Hi,

Of course I made connect  for vacuum cleaner.

Hi,

I have modified my Proxxon table saw.
