skipper1947 Posted June 2, 2015 #1 Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) I hope this is not a duplicate of another post, but I stumbled across this while trying to find information on cask stowage. Boy's Manual Of Seamanship And Gunnery http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pbtyc/B_S_M/Contents.html and Boy's Manual of Seamanship and Gunnery and System of School Training 1870 (Not sure if this is duplicated above) http://godfreydykes.info/THE_1870_BOYS%27_TRAINING_MANUAL_r.htm They look to be a treasure trove of details on just about anything on a sailing ship.
