Mirabell61 Posted October 10, 2015 Author #486 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Little update... These little hatch doors will cover the openings for bunkering coal, ( 13 on each side) where the slide-chutes are placed ..... Hull is now covered with plating, and the waterline is marked, (for applying the masking tape, when painting), with an permanent ink marker Nils this, borrowed from the web, shows a dutch liner being bunkered with coal at NY Hoboken piers the bunker hatches will bear the hinges on the top sides The black marking is the waterline doors not permanently mounted yet, have to coordinate the correct positions together with the portholes on that level. Just noticed, it must be one level (belt) higher, and not so near to the waterline Edited October 10, 2015 by Mirabell61 thomaslambo, Martin W, steamschooner and 28 others 31 Quote Current builds -Lightship Elbe 1 Completed - Steamship Ergenstrasse ex Laker Corsicana 1918- scale 1:87 scratchbuild - "Zeesboot" heritage wooden fishing small craft around 1870, POB clinker scratch build scale 1:24 - Pilot Schooner # 5 ELBE ex Wanderbird, scale 1:50 scratchbuild - Mississippi Sterwheelsteamer built as christmapresent for grandson modified kit build - Chebec "Eagle of Algier" 1753--scale 1:48-POB-(scratchbuild) "SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse" four stacker passenger liner of 1897, blue ribbond awarded, 1:144 (scratchbuild) "HMS Pegasus" , 16 gun sloop, Swan-Class 1776-1777 scale 1:64 from Amati plan -"Pamir" 4-mast barque, P-liner, 1:96 (scratchbuild) -"Gorch Fock 2" German Navy cadet training 3-mast barque, 1:95 (scratchbuild) "Heinrich Kayser" heritage Merchant Steamship, 1:96 (scratchbuild) original was my grandfathers ship -"Bohuslän" , heritage ,live Swedish museum passenger steamer (Billings kit), 1:50 "Lorbas", river tug, steam driven for RC, fictive design (scratchbuild), scale appr. 1:32 under restoration / restoration finished "Hjejlen" steam paddlewheeler, 1861, Billings Boats rare old kit, scale 1:50

reklein Posted October 10, 2015 #488 Posted October 10, 2015 Hi Nils, I built a 53 inch Titanic from French plans back in 97 and installed radio control. It was frighteningly rolly in the water. I had used cast lifeboats. In order to reduce topside wieght I took them off and carved individual ones from basswood. While it improved the performance it was still scary. We ran the boat a couple times then I took out the electronics and machinery to prevent her loss. Your shots of bunkering are great. Do you suppose the coal funnels were added to the outside or were they folded out from the inside. In which case you'd thing the bunkering hatches would be hinged on the bottom. Also the Titanic had hatches for bailing out the ashes,which I assume was done underway. What a mess on the ocean eh? It fun to watch this build.

Bill ,still in Idaho Hi Bill, amazing how well you thought about the hinge positions, you are reflecting exactly my own thoughts this morning, The only reason for "hinges on top" was for the pattern shown on the card KWdG in scale 1:250. which I sometimes use for checking dimensions... I also asked myself if it were not better to place the hinges at the bottom. I remembered the pic of bunkering at Hoboken, where the the liner seems to have the hatch covers in two doorhalves that each swing open to 180 °, this allowing the coal funnels to be set in quite easily, in case they were not built in here hinges on top, but it may be wrong, who knows ?

reklein Posted October 10, 2015 #492 Posted October 10, 2015 Our similar thinking may be due to our shared German ancestry,However, mine is 3 generations away and thinned out by scotch/irish genes. I visited a steam sternwheeler in Canada in which the coal was bunkered aboard by handcarts. Each turnaround required 38 tons of coal to be loaded in 4hrs. The ashes were shoveled out by hand into a water washed funnel and dumped overboard into the lake. What a mess that must have been.

amateur Posted October 11, 2015 #494 Posted October 11, 2015 With respect to the bunker doors: lookoing at the puc of the Dutch liner (ss rotterda, early twenties), you can see that the doorst hinged sideways, with no visible hinges on the outside. The hinge was inside, and on the outside there are one or two large nuts to secure th e door a(to the extreme left of the pic you can see a closed door, and left of the coalloadi g people you can see the inside of an open door. titanic had the same construcion (as ifound out in the internet), no idea wheter or not the German liners were of the same build.

How was your experience with the French plans set Johann, thanks for your nice words, much appreciated Crackers, nice comments, thats a real smooth treat for the toungue I guess, glad you follow the build log... Jan, thanks for your Input. Those doors have a real good kinematic Lever System in order to lock and seal tight against rough seas.
